Sound waves to lower sedation needs during C-section
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if listening to special sound patterns (binaural beats) can reduce the amount of sedation medicine needed during a C-section while you are awake. It may help you feel more relaxed with less medication.

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 compares two sedation medications (remimazolam and dexmedetomidine) used to keep pregnant patients comfortable and calm during cesarean delivery with spinal anesthesia. The goal is to find which medication works better and is safest for both mother and baby.
This trial tests whether playing binaural sounds (special audio tones) through headphones during surgery can help people relax while under anesthesia with the drug remimazolam. It may reduce the amount of anesthesia needed and improve recovery.
This study looks at whether playing special sounds (binaural beats) through earphones during surgery can lower the amount of anesthetic (remimazolam) needed. It may help people having breast surgery with reconstruction who want to use less medication.
This study tests whether listening to binaural beats (special sounds that may help relax the brain) can reduce the amount of anesthesia medicine needed during surgery in children under 3 years old. If successful, it could make anesthesia safer and reduce side effects.
This trial tests whether a medicine called ondansetron (commonly used for nausea) can help prevent low blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for planned C-sections. If you are a healthy pregnant woman with a single baby at full term and scheduled for a C-section, you may be able to join.
