CESAREAN SECTION

This study looked at whether adding a specific type of pain-blocking injection (called a TAP block) to standard pain medication after a planned C-section could help the surgical wound heal better. Researchers tested this in 105 women by comparing standard care to two different TA…

This study tested if adding specific pain-blocking injections and a steroid during a planned C-section could reduce severe pain in the first day after surgery. Researchers compared 100 patients before and after changing the hospital's standard pain management plan. The goal was t…

This study aimed to find a better way to manage pain after a cesarean section. Researchers compared adding either magnesium sulphate or neostigmine to a standard numbing injection (TAP block) given after delivery. They measured how long pain relief lasted, how much extra pain med…

This study compared two methods for closing C-section incisions: a special skin glue system versus traditional stitches. Researchers wanted to see which method led to better scar appearance and higher patient satisfaction 4-6 weeks after surgery. They also tracked wound infection…

This study looked at whether having mothers hold their newborns skin-to-skin right in the operating room after a planned C-section could help. Researchers wanted to see if this 'kangaroo care' improved the mother's pain, satisfaction, and recovery, and the baby's initial health. …

This study looked at whether playing music and having mothers listen to positive affirmations during a planned cesarean section could help reduce their anxiety and improve breastfeeding. Researchers compared three groups of mothers: one group received both affirmations and music,…

This study tested whether a simple, non-invasive technique called Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) could help reduce anxiety, surgical fear, and traumatic birth perceptions in pregnant women scheduled for a planned cesarean section. The technique involves gentle tapping on spec…

This study compared two common medications used to prevent a dangerous drop in blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for planned cesarean sections. In 98 women, a continuous infusion of norepinephrine was significantly more effective than phenylephrine at maintaining stable blo…

This study tested if a new way of stitching the muscle layer closed after a planned C-section could help reduce pain and allow mothers to walk sooner. Sixty women were randomly assigned to get either the standard stitching method or the new 'guide-suture' method. The goal was to …

This study looked at whether a drug called metoclopramide, often given before scheduled C-sections, actually reduces the amount of fluid in a pregnant woman's stomach. Researchers compared stomach fluid volume using ultrasound in 72 women who received either the drug or a placebo…

This study looked at whether using a specific, short-acting pain medication (remifentanil) for mothers during emergency C-sections for premature births is safe for the baby's first critical minutes. Researchers compared babies whose mothers received this medication to those whose…

This study aimed to find the best place to put a warming blanket on women having planned C-sections to help keep their body temperature stable. Researchers compared placing the blanket over the upper body versus under the body. They measured the core body temperature of 124 women…

This study looked at how often women who received an epidural for labor pain ended up needing a cesarean delivery. Researchers followed 188 women to find the rate and identify factors that might be linked to a higher chance of a C-section. The goal was to gather information to be…

This study aimed to understand how women recover in the first three months after a scheduled cesarean delivery. Researchers followed 66 women, tracking their pain levels, use of pain medication, ability to perform daily activities, and emotional well-being. The goal was to create…

This study followed 477 women in Denmark to understand how common and severe long-term pain is after a cesarean delivery. Researchers sent text message questionnaires over months and years to track pain levels and how pain affects daily life, sleep, mood, and caring for the baby.…
