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.
