Pain relief after cesarean: spinal morphine vs belly-wall block
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after a planned cesarean section. One method uses a numbing injection near the belly and the other uses a small dose of morphine given with the spinal. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.

This study tests different doses of morphine given through a spinal injection during a planned C-section to find the best balance of pain relief and side effects. It may help women have better pain control after surgery.
This study tests whether adding a small dose of morphine to a numbing injection near the spine (called erector spinae plane block) provides better pain relief after midline belly surgery. It may help reduce the need for other pain medicines and improve recovery.
This study tests different amounts of a numbing medicine injected into the belly after a cesarean to see which gives the best pain relief. It may help reduce pain after surgery.
This study tests whether a nerve-numbing injection in the abdomen helps reduce pain after a cesarean (C-section) delivery. The injection uses a local anesthetic to numb the area around your surgical wound, potentially reducing pain and the need for stronger pain medicines after surgery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after a planned cesarean section: a nerve block near the spine (ESPB) versus morphine injected into the spinal fluid. The goal is to find which method helps mothers recover more comfortably.
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.
