Husband Support During Cesarean Birth Surgery
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether having your husband present during a planned cesarean section (surgical delivery) affects how well the anesthesia works and how you and your baby do after surgery. Researchers want to understand if partner support improves the birthing experience.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether involving you in decisions during your planned C-section can improve your experience. You will be awake under spinal anesthesia and the study focuses on helping you feel more in control.
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 interviews mothers (and possibly fathers) about how it felt to have the father present during a planned cesarean birth. The goal is to understand and improve the birth experience for families.
This study asks whether women feel pain during a planned cesarean when they have combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (a numbing plus a small tube to add more numbing if needed). Answering a short questionnaire may help doctors improve pain control during and after cesarean.
This study looks at how satisfied mothers are with spinal anesthesia during a planned C-section. If you're having a scheduled C-section, your participation could help improve care for other moms in the future.
This study tests whether listening to binaural beats (sound patterns that may help you relax) can reduce the amount of sedative medicine you need during a cesarean section. If it works, it might help you feel calmer and more comfortable during the procedure.
