Lactoferrin for pain relief after cesarean section
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether lactoferrin (a natural protein found in breast milk and other body fluids) can help reduce pain after a cesarean section. If you are having a planned c-section and are generally healthy, you may be able to participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a planned (not emergency) cesarean section

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 study compares two ways to manage pain after a planned C-section: one uses a numbing injection near your back muscles, the other uses a small dose of morphine in your spinal fluid. Both are given during the C-section to help you stay comfortable afterwards.
This study tests a non-drug method using gentle electrical pulses (called TENS) to help manage pain after a C-section. It might reduce the need for pain medication and improve your recovery.
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 study tests whether giving magnesium during a planned cesarean section helps reduce pain after surgery, potentially reducing the need for other pain medicines.
This study tests two pain-relieving methods (interferential current and TENS) for women after a cesarean section. These treatments use mild electrical pulses to help reduce pain without medication.
