NCT ID NCT07465185
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding dexmedetomidine to the standard spinal anesthetic bupivacaine improves pain relief and recovery for women undergoing planned C-sections. 300 full-term pregnant women will be randomly assigned to receive either bupivacaine alone or bupivacaine plus dexmedetomidine. The goal is to see if the combination provides faster onset and shorter duration of numbness, leading to better recovery quality.
