New nerve block may offer better pain control after C-Section

NCT ID NCT07582640

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

Summary

This study compares two types of nerve blocks—erector spinae plane (ESP) block and transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block—for pain relief after cesarean section. Sixty women will receive one of the two blocks after surgery, and their pain levels and need for morphine will be tracked for 24 hours. The goal is to see if the ESP block provides better pain control, especially for deeper internal pain, than the standard TAP block.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

nerve block (erector spinae plane block or transversus abdominis plane block)

What this could lead to

If ESP block works better, it could offer women a more effective pain relief option after C-section, reducing the need for strong painkillers like morphine.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants. The results may not apply to all women, and the ESP block might not prove superior to the standard TAP block.
