Comparing two ways to give pain medicine after C-section
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
