Comparing two spinal anesthetics for planned cesarean delivery
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of spinal anesthesia for planned cesarean sections to see which one causes less of a drop in blood pressure. It may help you and your doctor choose the safest option for your delivery.

- You are scheduled for a planned cesarean section (not an emergency).

This trial tests two medicines given through an IV during a planned cesarean section to prevent a sudden drop in blood pressure (hypotension) after spinal anesthesia. One medicine is called metaraminol and the other is norepinephrine. Both are commonly used to keep blood pressure stable, and the goal is to find out which works better and is safer for mothers and babies.
This study tests a medication called phenylephrine, which helps keep your blood pressure from dropping too low during spinal anesthesia for a planned cesarean section. It compares two positions—lying flat on your back versus tilted to the left—to find the best dose for preventing low blood pressure, which can affect you and your baby.
This study compares how two different doses of a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) affect blood pressure during spinal anesthesia. It may help doctors choose the safest dose for patients having surgery.
This study compares two types of spinal anesthesia techniques used during a planned cesarean section to see which one is better at preventing a drop in blood pressure. If you are scheduled for a cesarean section, this trial may help improve your care and comfort.
This study looks at how the position you are in during spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine for a cesarean section) affects your blood pressure. The goal is to find a better position to reduce the chance of dangerously low blood pressure after the spinal injection.
This study looks at whether a certain method for spinal anesthesia can reduce the likelihood of a headache after a planned cesarean section. If you are having a planned c-section and are otherwise healthy, you may be able to join.
