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 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 C-section using a specialized abdominal wall block. One adds ketamine to the standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) to see if it works better for pain control.
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.
This study compares a nerve block with standard spinal morphine to see which provides better pain relief after a planned C-section. It may help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
This trial tests different amounts of numbing medication injected near the surgical area after cesarean delivery to see which works best for pain relief. You would receive this injection after your surgery, and researchers would track how well it controls your pain.
This study compares different nerve blocks for pain control after a planned cesarean delivery. The goal is to find which block provides the best pain relief with fewer side effects.
