Neostigmine added to spinal anesthesia for C-section pain
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a medicine called neostigmine to a TAP (belly wall) nerve block can improve pain control after a C-section done under spinal anesthesia. It may help reduce pain and the need for stronger pain medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 40 years old.
- You are having a C-section at 37 weeks or later (one baby).
- Your C-section will use spinal anesthesia and a Pfannenstiel (lower) incision with the uterus being brought out.
- You must be an ASA “physical status II” patient (generally mild, controlled health issues).
- You can understand and use the pain scoring method during the study.

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 study compares two ways to manage pain after C-section using a specialized abdominal wall block. One adds ketamine to the standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) to see if it works better for pain control.
This study compares a nerve block with standard spinal morphine to see which provides better pain relief after a planned C-section. It may help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
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 study compares two ways to manage pain after a planned cesarean section: a shot of morphine given into the spinal fluid versus a local anesthetic injected into the belly wall (TAP block). The goal is to see which provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study tests whether an extra nerve block (called a TAP block) given by your surgeon during a planned C-section can provide better pain relief than standard care alone. Researchers want to see if it reduces the need for stronger pain medicines after delivery.
