NCT ID NCT05313256
First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated May 31, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tested whether adding sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to a standard numbing medicine (lidocaine with epinephrine) could provide better pain relief for women needing an extremely urgent C-section during labor. Researchers compared the two mixtures in 65 women to see if the buffered version reduced the need for general anesthesia. The goal was to improve pain control and speed up delivery while keeping the mother awake.
