CESAREAN SECTION

This trial tests whether rinsing the inside of the abdomen with warm saline before closing the incision during a planned cesarean section can lower the chance of post-surgery infections and help the bowel start working again sooner. About 150 women having an elective C-section wi…

This trial tests whether cleaning the vagina with a betadine solution for 30 seconds just before a cesarean section can lower the chance of wound infections, fever, and uterine infection after surgery. About 600 women having either planned or emergency C-sections will take part. …

This study compares two ways to prevent heavy bleeding after a planned C-section: one drug (carbetocin) alone versus the same drug plus a slow drip of another (oxytocin). About 332 women having planned C-sections will take part. The goal is to see if the single drug works just as…

This study looks at whether giving mothers high-flow oxygen during a C-section can help prevent oxygen shortage in the baby. Researchers will compare a special high-flow oxygen device (OptiFlow THRIVE) with standard low-flow oxygen. The trial involves 200 pregnant women scheduled…

This trial tests whether an AI-based system can provide preoperative counseling for elective cesarean delivery as effectively as a physician. Women scheduled for a C-section will be randomly assigned to receive either standard doctor-led counseling or AI-delivered counseling with…

This trial investigates whether adding a hands-on technique called abdominopelvic fascial release to stretching exercises can reduce menstrual pain and improve scar mobility in women who have had a cesarean section. The study enrolls women aged 20 to 35 with moderate to severe pe…

This study tests whether structured skin-to-skin contact with the baby, plus lavender aromatherapy for the mother, can lower stress and improve breastfeeding after an elective C-section. 150 mothers will be split into three groups: routine care, skin-to-skin only, or skin-to-skin…

This study compares three non-drug approaches—music therapy, breathing exercises, and virtual reality—against standard care for women recovering from cesarean section. Researchers will measure pain, gastrointestinal symptoms, and overall recovery quality in 192 participants. The …

This study tests whether adding suzetrigine to standard pain management helps more women stay completely opioid-free for the first 72 hours after a C-section. About 90 women having scheduled or unscheduled C-sections will receive either suzetrigine or a placebo, along with usual …

This study compares two ways to manage pain after a planned C-section: a small dose of morphine given with the spinal anesthesia, versus a nerve block (TAP block) using numbing medicine. One hundred women will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The goal is to see whic…

This study compares two types of anesthesia for cesarean deliveries: standard epidural and a newer technique called dural puncture epidural (DPE). The goal is to see which one provides faster pain relief and better stability in blood pressure. Seventy-two pregnant women scheduled…

This study looks at whether the mobility of a cesarean scar is related to the severity of menstrual pain in women who have had a C-section. Researchers will measure scar mobility, pain levels, and pressure sensitivity in 34 women aged 20–35 with regular cycles and period pain. Th…

This study aims to create a risk prediction model for low blood pressure (hypotension) after spinal anesthesia in women undergoing planned cesarean delivery. Researchers monitor heart rate, blood pressure, perfusion index, and ECG/SpO₂ waveforms before and during surgery to ident…

This study compares two common methods of repairing the uterus during a C-section: lifting the uterus out of the abdomen to stitch it, or leaving it inside. Researchers want to see which method causes less bleeding, less nausea, and a better experience for the mother. About 60 wo…

This study will check if an ultrasound of the internal jugular vein in the neck can predict a sudden drop in blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for C-section in women with preeclampsia. Researchers will measure the vein's collapsibility before surgery and track blood pressur…

This study will review medical records of 770 women who had C-sections in two hospitals in Assiut, Egypt, during 2026. Researchers will use the WHO's Robson classification system to group women by factors like age and pregnancy history, to see which groups have the most C-section…

This study interviews 30 couples (60 parents) after a planned cesarean section to understand how the father's presence or absence in the operating room affects both parents' emotional experience. Researchers will talk to parents 48-72 hours after birth, asking about their expecta…
