Compare two spinal anesthesia bupivacaine dose methods for C-sections
Part of Pain, 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 study compares two types of spinal anesthesia for planned cesarean sections to see which one causes less of a drop in blood pressure. It may help you and your doctor choose the safest option for your delivery.
This study compares two types of spinal anesthesia techniques used during a planned cesarean section to see which one is better at preventing a drop in blood pressure. If you are scheduled for a cesarean section, this trial may help improve your care and comfort.
This trial tests whether adding an extra painkiller to the standard spinal anesthesia during a planned C-section reduces pain after surgery. It may help mothers have a more comfortable recovery.
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.
This study looks at whether a certain method for spinal anesthesia can reduce the likelihood of a headache after a planned cesarean section. If you are having a planned c-section and are otherwise healthy, you may be able to join.
