Sacral block for pain control during normal birth
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial studies a new pain-block method called the sacral erector spinae plane block, given along with your epidural during labor. It is for first-time mothers having a planned vaginal birth, and aims to see if it gives better pain relief.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 36 and 42 weeks pregnant with a single baby (not twins).
- You plan to have a vaginal birth (not a C-section).
- This is your first baby.
- You are planning to receive an epidural for pain relief.
- You are 18 to 42 years old and in good health (ASA II).
- You do not have any bleeding problems, infection near the injection site, or conditions that make epidural unsafe.

This study is testing how well a combination of two medicines (bupivacaine and lidocaine) works for epidural pain relief during early labor. The goal is to find the best dose to help manage labor pain.
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 two types of numbing injections given during cesarean delivery to help manage pain after surgery. The goal is to determine which injection works better for pain relief without needing as much opioid medication afterward.
This study tests a targeted numbing injection (a nerve block) in the belly wall during C-sections to improve pain control and recovery for people who have had multiple or complex abdominal surgeries. It aims to see if this approach reduces the need for strong pain medicines.
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.
