First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests different doses of dexmedetomidine to find the amount that stops shivering in 90% of women having planned C-sections. Forty healthy mothers with a single baby will receive the drug during spinal anesthesia. The goal is to improve comfort without causing unwanted side effects like slow heart rate or excessive sleepiness.
