Testing ropivacaine dose for C-section in taller adults
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies how different doses of ropivacaine (a numbing medicine given into the spine) affect comfort and safety during an elective C-section in taller, otherwise healthy adults. It may help anesthesiologists choose the right dose for this specific body-size group.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 40 years old
- You are having a planned (elective) C-section, not an emergency C-section
- You are full term (more than 37 weeks) with one baby
- Your height is between 167 and 184 cm
- You are generally healthy for surgery (ASA class I or II)
- You do not have certain pregnancy or medical risks, and your baseline heart rate is between 60 and 130 bpm

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two different numbing medicines (chloroprocaine and ropivacaine) given as a spinal injection during planned C-sections. The goal is to see which one works faster and better for pain relief during surgery.
This trial tests if giving anti-nausea medicine before spinal anesthesia can reduce nausea and vomiting during and after cesarean section. It may help women who receive morphine and other painkillers through the spinal injection.
This study tests whether a nerve block in the lower belly wall (transversalis fascia plane block) or a medication injected into the spinal fluid (intrathecal dexmedetomidine) provides better pain relief for mothers having a planned cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.
This early study tests whether using ropivacaine (a local numbing medicine) in spinal anesthesia is safe and workable for certain lower back operations. If you qualify, it may help doctors refine anesthesia choices for your type of surgery.
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.
This trial is testing a numbing medicine placed near the spine (erector spinae block) during lumbar spine fusion surgery. It aims to see if it helps control pain and may reduce the amount of anesthetic needed during the procedure.
