Compare two spinal anesthesia bupivacaine dose methods for C-sections
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your C-section must be planned (not an emergency)
- You must be pregnant at term: more than 35 weeks
- You need to agree to join the study by signing consent forms
- You must be able to receive spinal (intrathecal) anesthesia
- You should not have certain medical conditions that affect spinal anesthesia safety

This trial tests if using 20% less of a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) during a C-section can reduce the chance of the spinal block going too high. This may lower risks and improve safety for mothers.
This trial compares two forms of a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) given through a spinal shot before a planned C-section. It aims to see which one causes less of a drop in blood pressure after the medicine is given.
This study compares a standard spinal anesthetic (bupivacaine) with or without an added drug (dexmedetomidine) to see which works better for pain relief during planned cesarean delivery. It may help find a safer or more effective option for mothers.
This study compares two methods of calculating the dose of numbing medicine (bupivacaine) for spinal anesthesia in children having surgery below the belly button. It aims to find which method works better to keep your child comfortable during the procedure.
This trial tests two different spinal anesthesia techniques to see which one better prevents low blood pressure during planned cesarean delivery. It aims to improve safety and comfort for mothers.
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.
