Medicine in spinal anesthesia to reduce shivering during cesarean
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with one baby (not twins or more) and are full-term.
- You are between 20 and 40 years old.
- You are scheduled to have a cesarean section with spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine in your back).
- You are generally healthy or have only well-controlled health issues (no major heart, kidney, liver, or pregnancy-related blood pressure problems).
- You are not allergic to any of the study medicines and have no problem with spinal anesthesia (like bleeding disorders or back infections).

This study tests whether a medicine called dexamethasone (a type of steroid) can help reduce shivering that sometimes happens after you receive spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine in your back) for leg or foot surgery. It compares different doses to find the most effective one, which could make you more comfortable 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 study tests two medicines that may help reduce or stop shivering after you receive spinal anesthesia for a cesarean section. Shivering is a common side effect and can be uncomfortable, so finding a better treatment could make your recovery more comfortable.
This study tests a nasal spray given before a planned C-section to see if it reduces shivering during surgery. It may help you feel more comfortable during the procedure.
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.
This study tests a way to reduce shivering after surgery done with spinal anesthesia (numbing from the waist down). Shivering can be uncomfortable and increase recovery time, and the trial aims to see if a specific medication helps prevent it.
