Mindful breathing before spinal for C-section
Part of Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests if a short breathing exercise before spinal anesthesia can help keep your blood pressure steady during a planned C-section. You will practice the technique briefly before the procedure.

This study builds a tool to predict if blood pressure will drop during a planned cesarean with spinal anesthesia, using heart rate, blood pressure, and other non-invasive monitors. If you participate, the team will track your vital signs during the procedure to help improve safety and comfort for future mothers.
This trial looks at whether we can predict which pregnant women will have a sudden drop in blood pressure during a cesarean section. If you're a healthy pregnant woman with a full-term single baby, this study could help improve safety.
This study looks at whether a simple ultrasound measurement of blood flow in your neck can help predict if your blood pressure might drop during spinal anesthesia for a C-section. This could help doctors prevent dizziness and other side effects.
This trial tests whether giving a combination of two medicines before spinal anesthesia for a planned c-section can reduce the shaking (shivering) some women feel afterward. If effective, it may make recovery more comfortable.
This trial is for women having planned C-sections with spinal anesthesia. It tests whether combining two blood-pressure-supporting medicines (norepinephrine and ephedrine) works better, or is just as safe, as using one medicine alone to keep your blood pressure stable during the surgery. The goal is to see if this reduces side effects like low blood pressure for you and your baby.
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.
