Dexmedetomidine to reduce shaking during scheduled C-section
Treatments studied
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether dexmedetomidine, a calming medicine, can reduce unwanted shaking (shivering) during a planned C-section done with spinal anesthesia. It may help make the surgery and recovery more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a planned C-section (not an emergency).
- You are about 28 to 42 weeks pregnant, with one baby (singleton pregnancy).
- You will have spinal anesthesia for the C-section.
- You have no major medical problems that would make anesthesia unsafe (health status usually mild-to-moderate).
- Your body does not have a problem that prevents spinal anesthesia (no spinal anesthesia contraindications).

This trial tests if teaching mothers about what to expect during a planned C-section can reduce the chance of shivering during surgery. It may help you feel more prepared and comfortable.
This trial tests two intravenous medicines—hydrocortisone and dexmedetomidine—to see which one works better at preventing shivering after abdominal surgery. It may help you stay comfortable and recover more smoothly.
This trial tests if an ondansetron lozenge (a tablet you dissolve in your mouth) works as well as ondansetron given through a vein to prevent shivering during cesarean section. Shivering is a common side effect of spinal anesthesia.
This trial tests if adding a drug called dexamethasone to the spinal anesthetic can reduce shivering during and after a C-section. It may help keep you comfortable and warm.
This trial tests different doses of a medication called dexmedetomidine, given through a spinal injection, to find the best dose for preventing shivering after spinal anesthesia. It is for adults having ureteric stone removal surgery.
This trial studies whether a specific numbing/comfort medicine (dexmedetomidine) injected into the wound area during a C-section can improve recovery or reduce symptoms after surgery. You may be able to take part if you are a low-risk pregnancy and meet safety requirements.
