This trial tests two different ways of giving morphine for pain relief after a planned cesarean section: one is injected into the spinal fluid and the other into the space around the spinal cord. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer.
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 compares two opioid pain medicines (buprenorphine and morphine) given during a planned cesarean delivery to see which provides better pain relief with fewer side effects. You may be able to participate if you are having a single-baby, full-term cesarean, are not allergic to the study drugs, plan to have spinal/epidural anesthesia, and do not have chronic pain or take regular opioids.
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 compares two types of spinal pain medicine given during a planned cesarean section: one with morphine alone, and one with morphine plus a steroid called dexamethasone. The goal is to see if adding dexamethasone helps with pain relief.
