Medication to prevent shaking after c-section spinal anesthesia
This trial tests whether giving a combination of two medicines before spinal anesthesia for a planned c-section can reduce the shaking (shivering) some women feel afterward. If effective, it may make recovery more comfortable.

This study tests two medicines that may help reduce or stop shivering after you receive spinal anesthesia for a cesarean section. Shivering is a common side effect and can be uncomfortable, so finding a better treatment could make your recovery more comfortable.
This study tests a nasal spray given before a planned C-section to see if it reduces shivering during surgery. It may help you feel more comfortable during the procedure.
This trial tests if an ondansetron lozenge (a tablet you dissolve in your mouth) works as well as ondansetron given through a vein to prevent shivering during cesarean section. Shivering is a common side effect of spinal anesthesia.
This trial tests if a short breathing exercise before spinal anesthesia can help keep your blood pressure steady during a planned C-section. You will practice the technique briefly before the procedure.
This study tests whether giving anti-nausea medicine before a C-section with spinal anesthesia can prevent nausea and vomiting from the pain medication (morphine) used during the procedure. If you are having a planned C-section, this may help you feel more comfortable afterward.
This trial tests adding dexamethasone or magnesium sulfate to the numbing medicine given as a back injection (erector spinae plane block) to see if it provides better pain relief after a planned C-section. The goal is to reduce pain and the need for extra painkillers after surgery.
