Preventing shivering after spinal anesthesia for cesarean
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a planned cesarean section (not an emergency).
- You are between 18 and 40 years old.
- You are in good health or have only a mild, well-controlled medical condition (ASA 1 or 2).
- You are having spinal anesthesia (awake but numb from the chest down), not general anesthesia.

This trial tests whether giving a combination of two medicines before spinal anesthesia for a planned c-section can reduce the shaking (shivering) some women feel afterward. If effective, it may make recovery more comfortable.
This trial tests whether adding a medicine called dexamethasone to the spinal anesthetic reduces shivering after a cesarean section. It may help you feel more comfortable and recover more smoothly after surgery.
This study tests two medicines that may help reduce or stop shivering after you receive spinal anesthesia for a cesarean section. Shivering is a common side effect and can be uncomfortable, so finding a better treatment could make your recovery more comfortable.
