Comparing two numbing medicines for planned C-sections
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two different numbing medicines (chloroprocaine and ropivacaine) given as a spinal injection during planned C-sections. The goal is to see which one works faster and better for pain relief during surgery.

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 compares two ways to manage pain after a planned cesarean section: one is a medicine given in the spinal fluid, and the other is a numbing injection in the belly wall. It aims to find which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
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 trial tests two different ways of giving morphine for pain relief after a planned cesarean section: one is injected into the spinal fluid and the other into the space around the spinal cord. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer.
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after a planned cesarean section: one combines a spinal and epidural injection, the other is a newer type of nerve block. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
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.
