CESAREAN SECTION

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 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 tests whether watching a short video about anesthesia and surgery before an elective C-section can lower anxiety and stress hormones (cortisol) more than standard verbal instructions from a doctor. 140 pregnant women will be randomly assigned to either video or verbal …

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 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…
