Summary

This study tested whether adding hyaluronidase to the numbing drug bupivacaine improves pain relief after cesarean section. 114 women received a nerve block with either bupivacaine alone or bupivacaine plus one of two doses of hyaluronidase. The goal was to see if the combination extends pain relief and reduces the need for additional morphine.
