This study tests whether a nerve block in the lower belly wall (transversalis fascia plane block) or a medication injected into the spinal fluid (intrathecal dexmedetomidine) provides better pain relief for mothers having a planned cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.
This trial tests adding dexamethasone or magnesium sulfate to the numbing medicine given as a back injection (erector spinae plane block) to see if it provides better pain relief after a planned C-section. The goal is to reduce pain and the need for extra painkillers after surgery.
This trial studies whether giving a small dose of morphine into the spinal fluid during a planned cesarean section helps with pain after surgery. It aims to find a safe and effective way to manage pain for new mothers.
This trial studies how well pain is controlled and how quickly women recover after a planned C-section under spinal anesthesia. It compares different pain relief methods to find the best approach.
This trial looks at whether pain relief is not enough during a cesarean section done with spinal anesthesia. It aims to find ways to improve pain control for mothers.
This study tests whether adding magnesium during cesarean section birth reduces pain after delivery. You would receive the magnesium as part of your anesthesia, and researchers will track how much pain medication you need afterward.
