Nerve block vs spinal morphine for C-section pain relief
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares a nerve block with standard spinal morphine to see which provides better pain relief after a planned C-section. It may help you recover with less pain and 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 trial compares two ways of giving pain relief after planned cesarean section using spinal anesthesia. One group gets a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) plus a small dose of morphine, and the other gets bupivacaine alone. The goal is to see which provides better pain control 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 study tests whether a nerve block (extra numbing medicine) given during a cesarean section can help with pain after delivery and may reduce the risk of postpartum depression. The trial compares the nerve block to standard care.
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.
