TAP block study for new mothers and bonding
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a pain-relief injection called TAP block helps mothers bond with their babies after childbirth. TAP block numbs the belly area to reduce pain after C-section or other deliveries.

This study compares two ways to manage pain after a planned cesarean section: a shot of morphine given into the spinal fluid versus a local anesthetic injected into the belly wall (TAP block). The goal is to see which provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This trial compares two ways of placing numbing medicine (with bupivacaine) during a planned C-section: an ultrasound-guided approach versus a surgical approach. It aims to find which method provides better pain control and comfort with fewer problems.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (TAP and ESP) to see which provides better pain relief after tummy tuck surgery. Both are injections near the abdominal muscles that numb the area, and you'll also have a patient-controlled pain pump.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (TAP and M-TAPA) to see which one provides better pain relief after planned laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Both blocks are injections of numbing medicine around your abdomen to help control pain after surgery.
This study tests adding a special nerve block (peripheral autonomic block) to a standard abdominal wall block to see if it provides better pain relief after minimally invasive left-sided colon surgery. It may help patients experience less pain and use fewer pain medications.
This study tests whether a nerve block in the lower belly wall (transversalis fascia plane block) or a medication injected into the spinal fluid (intrathecal dexmedetomidine) provides better pain relief for mothers having a planned cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.
