Nerve block for C-section pain in complex surgery history
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a targeted numbing injection (a nerve block) in the belly wall during C-sections to improve pain control and recovery for people who have had multiple or complex abdominal surgeries. It aims to see if this approach reduces the need for strong pain medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had at least one of these: prior open belly surgery, 3+ C-sections, known internal scar tissue, a tummy tuck, or re-opening of your belly.
- You are not getting general anesthesia (being put fully asleep) for your C-section.
- You do not use strong painkillers (opioids) regularly.
- You have no history of substance abuse (like alcohol or drug misuse).
- You are not allergic to the numbing medicine bupivacaine or oral pain relievers.

This trial tests whether adding an extra painkiller to the standard spinal anesthesia during a planned C-section reduces pain after surgery. It may help mothers have a more comfortable recovery.
This study tests two different numbing injections (nerve blocks) after a planned cesarean delivery to see which one controls pain better. If you qualify, you'll receive one of the two blocks to help you recover with less pain after birth.
This study tests different amounts of a numbing medicine injected into the belly after a cesarean to see which gives the best pain relief. It may help reduce pain after surgery.
This study tests whether an extra nerve block (called a TAP block) given by your surgeon during a planned C-section can provide better pain relief than standard care alone. Researchers want to see if it reduces the need for stronger pain medicines after delivery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after a planned cesarean section. One method uses a numbing injection near the belly and the other uses a small dose of morphine given with the spinal. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study tests whether a nerve-numbing injection in the abdomen helps reduce pain after a cesarean (C-section) delivery. The injection uses a local anesthetic to numb the area around your surgical wound, potentially reducing pain and the need for stronger pain medicines after surgery.
