Pain relief after planned c-section: spinal morphine with or without wound numbing
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a numbing medicine (levobupivacaine) around the incision can improve pain control after a planned cesarean section, when patients also receive spinal morphine. The goal is to reduce pain and possibly the need for extra painkillers after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether adding an extra painkiller to the standard spinal anesthesia during a planned C-section reduces pain after surgery. It may help mothers have a more comfortable recovery.
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.
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 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 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.
