Recruiting studies
- NCT07183501Recruiting
Fixing C-section scar defect with two scopes

Can talking therapy lower anxiety during planned C-sections?
This study tests whether a special way of talking with patients before and during a planned C-section helps reduce anxiety. If you speak French and are having a planned C-section in Geneva, you may be able to join.
GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT07052331Recruiting
The MOBY study: testing birth mobility for first-time moms
This study tests a mobility system to see if it helps first-time moms with low-risk pregnancies during labor. If you are pregnant with your first baby, have a single baby in head-down position, and are due after 37 weeks, you may be able to join.
Baden, Canton of AargauAges 18 years+ - NCT07054775RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing itching after two doses of spinal morphine in C-section
This study compares two low doses of morphine given during spinal anesthesia for planned cesarean sections, to see which causes less itching. It aims to find a safer way to manage pain after birth.
Khon KaenAges 18–45 - NCT06874478Recruiting
Breathing help for babies born by planned C-section
This study looks at whether giving steroids before a planned C-section at full term can help babies breathe better after birth. It may be an option for pregnant women who are scheduled for a C-section and meet certain health criteria.
AsyutAges 20–39 - NCT07033104Recruiting
Adding calcitonin to numbing medicine for C-section pain relief
This study tests if adding a medication called calcitonin to the usual numbing medicine (bupivacaine) can provide better pain relief after a cesarean section. It is for women who are having a planned C-section under spinal anesthesia.
Tanta, Gharbia GovernorateAges Any age - NCT06824025RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Comparing two drugs for headache after spinal anesthesia in C-section
This trial tests if a combination of neostigmine and atropine works better than lidocaine for treating severe headaches that can happen after spinal anesthesia during a planned C-section. It aims to find a more effective way to relieve this type of headache.
MinyaAges 18–35 - NCT05233462Recruiting
Compare two spinal anesthesia bupivacaine dose methods for C-sections
This trial looks at whether adjusting the dose of bupivacaine by height works better than using a standard dose for spinal anesthesia during planned C-sections. It may help improve safety and comfort by aiming for the right level of numbing effect.
CaenAges 18–45 - NCT06716359Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two pain medicines after C-section
This trial compares two pain relievers, hydromorphone and nalbuphine, given through a patient-controlled pump after cesarean section. It aims to find which provides better pain control with fewer side effects.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 20–50 - NCT06540222Recruiting
Keeping cord attached longer at emergency cesarean
This study tests keeping the umbilical cord attached longer during an emergency cesarean to see if it helps the baby. If you are having a full-term emergency cesarean with spinal or epidural anesthesia, your baby may be able to benefit from this practice.
GothenburgAges 9 months–10 months - NCT06442995RecruitingPhase 4
Magnesium added to morphine after C-section to prevent urine blockage
This study tests whether adding magnesium sulfate to the usual painkiller (morphine) given through the epidural can help prevent trouble urinating after a C-section. It is for women who have had a C-section under epidural anesthesia and are at risk of needing a catheter due to urine retention.
ReimsAges 18 years+ - NCT06347770RecruitingPhase 1
Oral Gan Shuangbi for recovery after C-section
This trial tests an oral herbal medicine (Gan Shuangbi) to see if it helps your intestines work normally again after a C-section. It may speed up recovery after delivery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–45 - NCT06285396Recruiting
Diabetes and medication effects on uterine muscle during C-section
This trial studies how three medications (ephedrine, phenylepinephrine, and norepinephrine) affect the contraction strength of uterine muscle tissue from pregnant people with type 2 or gestational diabetes during planned C-sections. It aims to understand if these drugs act differently in people with diabetes, which could help tailor safer treatments for low blood pressure during surgery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 19–45 - NCT06264219RecruitingPhase 1
Restoring gut bacteria after C-section birth
This trial tests whether giving a small dose of the mother's vaginal bacteria to babies born by C-section can help restore their gut microbiome. It may reduce the risk of allergies and other immune-related conditions later in life.
Gentofte Municipality, CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06177184Recruiting
Donor milk for full-term cesarean-born babies
This study tests whether giving donor breast milk to full-term babies born by C-section can improve their gut health. If your baby was born by C-section and you plan to breastfeed, this trial may be a good fit.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 9 months+ - NCT05488457RecruitingPhase 2
Oxytocin timing and effects during planned C-section
This study looks at how oxytocin (a medicine often used to help with labor and uterine contractions) moves through the body and what it does during a non-emergency C-section. It may help improve how oxytocin is used in the future for safer, more predictable delivery care.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–50 - NCT05205317Recruiting
VR alone or VR plus metformin for C-section scar healing
This study compares two treatments to help improve a C-section scar defect (an issue seen on the uterus scar). Some participants may receive virtual reality (VR) therapy plus metformin, while others receive VR alone, and the researchers will look at symptoms and scar healing.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–40 - NCT05224726Recruiting
Platelet-rich plasma for healing after C-section
This study tests whether a treatment made from your own platelets (platelet-rich plasma) can help the uterus heal after an elective C-section. You may be considered if you are full-term and having a planned C-section.
Ramat Gan, CenterAges 18–52 - NCT06836986Recruiting
Norepinephrine vs. phenylephrine for blood pressure in C-section
This trial compares two medications, norepinephrine and phenylephrine, to see which works better at preventing low blood pressure during emergency C-sections under spinal anesthesia.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–40 - NCT06927830Recruiting
Nausea & vomiting after planned C-section under spinal anesthesia
This research study looks at how often nausea and vomiting happen after a planned C-section with spinal anesthesia, when standard preventive medicine is given. If you are having a planned C-section with a single baby at over 37 weeks, this study may help doctors understand your risk better.
