First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This completed study surveyed 283 women who had scheduled C-sections under spinal anesthesia and followed an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol. Researchers called participants at 3 and 6 months to ask about scar pain and how it affected daily life. The goal was to see how common chronic pain is with this approach and whether the ERAS protocol helps prevent it.

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could show that the ERAS protocol reduces chronic pain after C-sections, leading to better recovery guidelines.

What could go wrong

This is an observational survey, not a treatment trial. Results may not prove cause and effect, and the sample is limited to scheduled C-sections under spinal anesthesia.
