This trial compares two ways to manage pain after a planned cesarean section: one combines a spinal and epidural injection, the other is a newer type of nerve block. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
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 looks at how different positions during a planned cesarean delivery affect the mother's heart and blood pressure under spinal anesthesia. It may help find the safest way to position a mother during the procedure.
This study looks at how spinal anesthesia during a planned C-section may affect the baby's autonomic nervous system, which controls things like heart rate and breathing. It aims to help doctors better understand how to keep both mother and baby safe.
This study explores what sensations women feel during a planned cesarean delivery with spinal anesthesia. It may help understand how women experience touch, pressure, or other feelings during the procedure.
This study compares two types of numbing injections given during cesarean delivery to help manage pain after surgery. The goal is to determine which injection works better for pain relief without needing as much opioid medication afterward.
