NCT ID NCT07697651
First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether spinal anesthesia used during planned cesarean deliveries can cause temporary hearing loss. Researchers will test women's hearing before and after the procedure using a standard hearing test. They will also track headaches that can occur after spinal anesthesia to see if hearing changes are linked. The goal is to better understand this possible side effect.
