Pain blocks and recovery after cesarean section
Treatments studied
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of pain blocks (erector spinae and retrolaminar) given during a scheduled cesarean to see which one helps you recover better after surgery. It uses a simple questionnaire to measure how well you feel during recovery.

This study tests two different types of nerve blocks (called 'plain blocks') to see which one works better for controlling pain after major gynecological surgery. You would receive one of the blocks before surgery, and then use a pump you control to get extra pain medicine as needed.
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.
This study tests two different numbing injections (nerve blocks) after a planned cesarean delivery to see which one controls pain better. If you qualify, you'll receive one of the two blocks to help you recover with less pain after birth.
This study compares different nerve blocks for pain control after a planned cesarean delivery. The goal is to find which block provides the best pain relief with fewer side effects.
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after a planned cesarean section: one combines a spinal and epidural injection, the other is a newer type of nerve block. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after a planned cesarean section. One method uses a numbing injection near the belly and the other uses a small dose of morphine given with the spinal. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
