CESAREAN SECTION

This study tests whether an ondansetron lozenge works as well as an IV injection to prevent shivering in women having a cesarean section. About 90 women will receive either the lozenge or the IV before surgery. The goal is to find a simpler, more comfortable way to reduce shiveri…

This study tests whether giving a fecal microbiota transplant to babies born by C-section can improve their gut bacteria and help prevent overweight or obesity later in life. Researchers will track the growth and gut health of 534 infants who receive the transplant shortly after …

This study looks at mothers who feel severe pain during a C-section despite spinal or epidural anesthesia. It compares giving general anesthesia versus extra pain medicine to see which better prevents post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The goal is to find a way to reduce trau…

This study aims to find the most effective dose of morphine given into the spinal fluid to control pain after a C-section. Researchers will test different doses in 100 healthy women having planned C-sections, adjusting the dose based on how well the previous participant's pain wa…

This study tests whether the Enhanced Recovery After Cesarean (ERAS) protocol helps mothers and fathers bond better with their newborn. ERAS includes steps like shorter fasting, early eating and walking, and immediate skin-to-skin contact. The trial will enroll 300 families and m…

This study tests whether a 5-minute mindfulness-based breathing exercise, done just before spinal anesthesia, can reduce the common drop in blood pressure and ease anxiety in women having a planned C-section. Half of the 150 participants will do slow, guided breathing (about 6 br…

This study tests whether women having a planned C-section can safely skip the routine bladder catheter. Instead, they will urinate on their own just before surgery. The goal is to see if this approach avoids the need for a catheter after birth, while also improving comfort. About…

This study tests whether giving less or more IV fluids during a planned C-section helps reduce nausea and vomiting after surgery and helps the bowels recover faster. About 160 women having planned C-sections under spinal anesthesia will take part. The goal is to find the best flu…

This study looks at whether a continuous pain pump delivering bupivacaine (a numbing medicine) after a C-section reduces the need for stronger opioid painkillers compared to a placebo pump with salt water. One hundred pregnant women having C-sections will be randomly assigned to …

This study tests whether wearing a virtual reality headset with calming scenes can reduce anxiety and stress during a cesarean section as well as a sedative drug called dexmedetomidine. Fifty-two women having planned C-sections will be randomly assigned to receive either the VR h…

This study tests two methods of delivering a TAP block—a type of pain shot—after a planned C-section. One method uses ultrasound to guide the needle, the other is done by the surgeon during the operation. The goal is to see which approach provides better pain control and is faste…

This study looks at whether drinking a clear carbohydrate-rich beverage two hours before a planned C-section can help women recover faster and feel less hungry, thirsty, or anxious. One hundred women will be randomly assigned to get either the carbohydrate drink or plain distille…

This study compares two pain relief methods after cesarean section: a nerve block (ESPB) and spinal morphine. It involves 52 women having planned C-sections. The goal is to see which method leads to better recovery and less pain. Results could help improve post-surgery care for m…

This study compares two ways to manage pain after a C-section: a nerve block (TFP block) and a medication added to spinal anesthesia (intrathecal dexmedetomidine). Fifty women undergoing planned C-sections will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods. Researchers will meas…

This study looks at whether waist size, body mass index (BMI), and a heart-related index can predict low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia during cesarean sections. Researchers will measure 321 pregnant women before their scheduled C-section and track blood pressure changes.…

This study explores how severe sleep deprivation in the first 48 hours after childbirth impacts a mother's motivation to breastfeed and her breastfeeding success. Researchers will track 167 new mothers, including those who had C-sections, using surveys and feeding assessments. Th…

This study is checking if pregnant women with low vitamin D are more likely to have a dangerous drop in blood pressure during a C-section when they get spinal anesthesia. Researchers will measure vitamin D levels before surgery and watch blood pressure closely during the procedur…

This study tests if giving C-section babies bacteria from their mother can help restore their gut health to be more like babies born vaginally. About 100 healthy infants will receive a daily oral bacterial product for one or four weeks. Researchers will compare their gut bacteria…

This study looks at how the length of time you fast before a planned C-section affects how well you recover. One hundred women having an elective C-section will answer 11 questions about their recovery 24 hours after surgery. The goal is to see if longer fasting times lead to wor…
