Testing a pain-control method after C-section
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how to better manage pain after a C-section using spinal anesthesia and either a patient-controlled IV pain pump or a specific pain medicine (naldebaein). You may be able to join if you’re scheduled for a C-section at 37–40 weeks and can take the usual pain medicines.

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.
This trial tests two different ways of giving morphine for pain relief after a planned cesarean section: one is injected into the spinal fluid and the other into the space around the spinal cord. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer.
This study tests two medications, dexmedetomidine and ketamine, to see which one works better for pain after a planned C-section. If you're having a scheduled C-section and are generally healthy, this trial could help find better pain relief options.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after a planned cesarean section. One method uses a numbing injection near the belly and the other uses a small dose of morphine given with the spinal. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study tests if adding a medicine called neostigmine to a numbing injection in your belly can improve pain relief after your cesarean section. It might help you feel better with less need for strong painkillers.
This trial tests a long-acting painkiller, Naldebain, for women having a planned C-section. It aims to see if it provides better pain control after the surgery.
