Magnesium added to morphine after C-section to prevent urine blockage
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding magnesium sulfate to the usual painkiller (morphine) given through the epidural can help prevent trouble urinating after a C-section. It is for women who have had a C-section under epidural anesthesia and are at risk of needing a catheter due to urine retention.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests two different medicines added to a numbing injection (called a TAP block) given after cesarean section to see which provides better pain relief. If you are having a planned C-section, this could help improve your comfort after delivery.
This trial tests adding dexamethasone or magnesium sulfate to the numbing medicine given as a back injection (erector spinae plane block) to see if it provides better pain relief after a planned C-section. The goal is to reduce pain and the need for extra painkillers after surgery.
This study tests whether giving magnesium during a planned cesarean section helps reduce pain after surgery, potentially reducing the need for other pain medicines.
This trial studies whether giving a small dose of morphine into the spinal fluid during a planned cesarean section helps with pain after surgery. It aims to find a safe and effective way to manage pain for new mothers.
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 study tests different doses of morphine given through a spinal injection during a planned C-section to find the best balance of pain relief and side effects. It may help women have better pain control after surgery.
