Menstrual cycle and shivering after anesthesia
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how the menstrual cycle affects shivering after anesthesia in women having nose surgery. Researchers want to see if your cycle phase changes how much you shiver and how well your body warms up after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 45 years old.
- You are scheduled for an open septoplasty or rhinoplasty (non-emergency) under general anesthesia.
- Your periods are regular (no PCOS, thyroid problems, or other hormonal issues).
- You do not take any medicine that affects your heart, temperature, or hormones (including birth control pills).
- You do not have uncontrolled diabetes, high blood pressure, Raynaud's, thyroid disease, or other serious health conditions.
- Your surgery will last at least 1 hour and your body temperature will be normal before anesthesia starts.

This study compares two numbing medications (bupivacaine and prilocaine) used for spinal anesthesia during inguinal hernia surgery to see which one causes less shivering after the operation. You'll receive one of these two medications and be monitored for shivering and recovery.
This study looks at how getting cold during surgery (hypothermia) might affect how confused or restless you feel when waking up from anesthesia. Researchers want to find ways to prevent these side effects and make your recovery smoother.
This trial tests a method to prevent shivering after lower abdominal or leg surgery done with spinal anesthesia. Shivering can be uncomfortable after surgery, and this study aims to find a way to reduce it.
This study looks at whether the phase of your menstrual cycle influences how much anesthesia medicine you need and how likely you are to feel sick after gallbladder surgery. If you join, it could help doctors personalize care for women having this procedure.
This trial tests if adding a drug called dexamethasone to the spinal anesthetic can reduce shivering during and after a C-section. It may help keep you comfortable and warm.
This study looks at whether your heart rate patterns and anxiety levels before surgery can predict how you will wake up after nose surgery (septorhinoplasty). If you are scheduled for this surgery, they will measure your heart rate and ask you questions about anxiety to see if these can help reduce confusion or agitation when you wake up.
