Comparing two pain relief methods for cesarean delivery
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of pain relief given during a C-section: one uses morphine alone, and the other combines morphine with a steroid called dexamethasone. The goal is to see if the combination provides better pain relief after the surgery.
