Medicines to stop shivering after cesarean delivery
Treatments studied
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 different doses of paracetamol (a common pain and fever reducer) to see which one best prevents shivering after spinal anesthesia for lower-limb surgery. Shivering can be uncomfortable, and the study aims to find the safest and most effective dose for patients.
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 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 study tests whether acupressure, a gentle pressure technique on specific body points, can help reduce shivering and keep you warm after a cesarean section. If you are a healthy woman having a planned cesarean with spinal anesthesia, this may help you recover more comfortably.
This study tests if ondansetron, given as a strip that dissolves in the mouth, can prevent shivering after spinal anesthesia. Shivering can be uncomfortable after surgery, and this may help you feel better during recovery.
