Preventing shivering after surgery under spinal anesthesia
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a method to prevent shivering after lower abdominal or leg surgery done with spinal anesthesia. Shivering can be uncomfortable after surgery, and this study aims to find a way to reduce it.
