Comparing two pain medicines after planned C-section
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two medications, dexmedetomidine and ketamine, to see which one works better for pain after a planned C-section. If you're having a scheduled C-section and are generally healthy, this trial could help find better pain relief options.
