Comparing itching after two doses of spinal morphine in C-section
Treatments studied

This trial tests if giving ondansetron before spinal anesthesia can prevent itching that often happens after a C-section. It may help you feel more comfortable during recovery.
This study tests whether giving propofol (a sleep medicine) at different times during a cesarean section can reduce itching caused by morphine given in spinal anesthesia. If you're having a planned C-section, you may experience less itching after surgery.
This trial tests two different ways of giving morphine for pain relief after a planned cesarean section: one is injected into the spinal fluid and the other into the space around the spinal cord. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer.
This study tests different doses of morphine given through a spinal injection during a planned C-section to find the best balance of pain relief and side effects. It may help women have better pain control after surgery.
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.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after a planned cesarean section: a nerve block near the spine (ESPB) versus morphine injected into the spinal fluid. The goal is to find which method helps mothers recover more comfortably.
