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 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 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 trial compares two numbing injections given after a C-section to see which provides better pain relief. The goal is to reduce the need for strong painkillers after the surgery.
This study tests two different numbing injections (nerve blocks) after a planned cesarean delivery to see which one controls pain better. If you qualify, you'll receive one of the two blocks to help you recover with less pain after birth.
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.
