Part of Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if giving general anesthesia early during a C-section can reduce traumatic experiences for women who feel severe pain despite standard pain relief options.

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 study compares two ways to reduce anxiety and stress during a planned C-section: using a virtual reality headset versus a sedative medicine given through an IV. It aims to see which approach helps mothers feel calmer and supports better outcomes for both mom and baby.
This study tests whether a nerve block (extra numbing medicine) given during a cesarean section can help with pain after delivery and may reduce the risk of postpartum depression. The trial compares the nerve block to standard care.
This study tests whether adding one of two medications (dexmedetomidine or clonidine) to spinal anesthesia during cesarean delivery can improve pain control and comfort during and after surgery. These medications may help reduce the need for additional pain relief during the procedure.
This study compares two safe locations for numbing medicine during planned cesarean delivery. Researchers want to learn which placement works best for pain relief and recovery.
This study is gathering information from pregnant people who had general anesthesia (being completely asleep) during a C-section. It helps researchers learn more about how to improve care for others in the future.
