Fever treatment during labor: dipyrone vs acetaminophen
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two fever-reducing medicines, dipyrone and acetaminophen, to see which works better for pregnant women who develop a fever during labor. It aims to safely manage fever that may be due to an infection around the baby.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether using a warmer or cooler numbing medicine during an epidural changes the chance of a mother developing a fever during labor. If you are planning an epidural for vaginal delivery, this trial may help improve pain relief and reduce fever risk.
This study tests if a nasal spray containing dexmedetomidine can prevent fever from developing during labor in women receiving epidural pain relief. The medicine helps keep body temperature normal while you are in labor.
This trial compares two pain relief methods during the first stage of labor: a combination of tramadol and paracetamol given through an IV, versus pethidine given as a shot. The goal is to see which works better and has fewer side effects.
This trial tests whether giving vitamin C through an IV during labor can help prevent fever that sometimes happens after getting an epidural. If you are having a single baby vaginally, at full term, and plan to use an epidural, this study may be for you.
This study tests whether giving a prescription for fever-reducing medicine (like Tylenol or ibuprofen) when children leave the emergency room helps prevent them from having to return to the ER for fever. If your child is being sent home with a fever, this study wants to see if having the medicine on hand makes a difference.
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.
