Pain relief study for cesarean section
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 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 two ways to manage pain after a planned cesarean section: one is a medicine given in the spinal fluid, and the other is a numbing injection in the belly wall. It aims to find which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
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.
This study looks at how well the standard spinal block works for cesarean sections. It aims to understand the typical effects to improve care for patients having a C-section.
This study tests whether adding ketamine to a standard pain-relief injection (bupivacaine) around the belly area reduces pain better after a C-section. It aims to improve your comfort after surgery.
This trial compares two numbing injections given after a C-section to see which provides better pain relief. The goal is to reduce the need for strong painkillers after the surgery.
