Adding calcitonin to numbing medicine for C-section pain relief
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if adding a medication called calcitonin to the usual numbing medicine (bupivacaine) can provide better pain relief after a cesarean section. It is for women who are having a planned C-section under spinal anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a planned cesarean section (not an emergency).
- You will receive spinal anesthesia (a needle in the back) for the surgery.
- You are classified as ASA 2 (generally healthy with a mild condition, like well-controlled high blood pressure).
- You do not have pregnancy-related conditions like preeclampsia or serious illnesses.
- You do not have a history of bleeding problems or blood-clotting disorders.

This study tests whether a nerve block in the lower belly wall (transversalis fascia plane block) or a medication injected into the spinal fluid (intrathecal dexmedetomidine) provides better pain relief for mothers having a planned cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.
This trial compares two ways of placing numbing medicine (with bupivacaine) during a planned C-section: an ultrasound-guided approach versus a surgical approach. It aims to find which method provides better pain control and comfort with fewer problems.
This trial tests adding dexamethasone or magnesium sulfate to the numbing medicine given as a back injection (erector spinae plane block) to see if it provides better pain relief after a planned C-section. The goal is to reduce pain and the need for extra painkillers after surgery.
This study compares a standard spinal anesthetic (bupivacaine) with or without an added drug (dexmedetomidine) to see which works better for pain relief during planned cesarean delivery. It may help find a safer or more effective option for mothers.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after C-section using a specialized abdominal wall block. One adds ketamine to the standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) to see if it works better for pain control.
This study tests whether an extra nerve block (called a TAP block) given by your surgeon during a planned C-section can provide better pain relief than standard care alone. Researchers want to see if it reduces the need for stronger pain medicines after delivery.
