This trial tests if an ondansetron lozenge (a tablet you dissolve in your mouth) works as well as ondansetron given through a vein to prevent shivering during cesarean section. Shivering is a common side effect of spinal anesthesia.
This trial tests whether dexmedetomidine, a calming medicine, can reduce unwanted shaking (shivering) during a planned C-section done with spinal anesthesia. It may help make the surgery and recovery more comfortable.
This trial tests two intravenous medicines—hydrocortisone and dexmedetomidine—to see which one works better at preventing shivering after abdominal surgery. It may help you stay comfortable and recover more smoothly.
This trial tests whether watching a short, informative video before your planned C-section can help reduce anxiety and make you feel more satisfied with your care. It's for first-time mothers having spinal anesthesia.
This trial tests if adding a drug called dexamethasone to the spinal anesthetic can reduce shivering during and after a C-section. It may help keep you comfortable and warm.
This trial tests whether two common medicines, tramadol and ketamine, given through an IV, can prevent shivering that sometimes happens after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. You may be able to join if you are having a planned cesarean and are generally healthy.
