This study compares different types of pain medicine that were used during labor to see which works best for pain control during an in-pregnancy C-section. It may help improve comfort and reduce discomfort when a C-section is needed.
This study looks at how to better manage pain after a C-section using spinal anesthesia and either a patient-controlled IV pain pump or a specific pain medicine (naldebaein). You may be able to join if you’re scheduled for a C-section at 37–40 weeks and can take the usual pain medicines.
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 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 trial looks at whether pain relief is not enough during a cesarean section done with spinal anesthesia. It aims to find ways to improve pain control for mothers.
