Comparing two drugs to prevent shivering during C-section
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests two ways of giving a medicine (pethidine) to prevent shivering during a C-section with spinal anesthesia. It aims to find which method works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a planned C-section with spinal anesthesia.
- You do not have any medical condition that would make spinal anesthesia unsafe.
- Your blood pressure and blood sugar are well controlled.
- You do not have liver, lung, or thyroid problems.
- Your body weight is not more than a BMI of 35.
- You are not allergic to pethidine or any similar drugs.

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 study tests three different doses of a medicine called dexmedetomidine, which is given through a spinal injection to prevent shivering during surgery for removing a ureter stone. Shivering after spinal anesthesia is common and uncomfortable, and the hope is that this medicine can safely reduce it.
This study compares two types of spinal anesthesia techniques used during a planned cesarean section to see which one is better at preventing a drop in blood pressure. If you are scheduled for a cesarean section, this trial may help improve your care and comfort.
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 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 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.
