Pain relief choices for planned cesarean section
Treatments studied
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 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 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 tests whether giving anti-nausea medicine before a C-section with spinal anesthesia can prevent nausea and vomiting from the pain medication (morphine) used during the procedure. If you are having a planned C-section, this may help you feel more comfortable afterward.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after a planned C-section: one uses a numbing injection near your back muscles, the other uses a small dose of morphine in your spinal fluid. Both are given during the C-section to help you stay comfortable afterwards.
