Smart pain tracking may ease recovery after C-Sections
NCT ID NCT07720440
First seen Jul 22, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a device that measures the body's pain signals during surgery can help doctors give just the right amount of pain medicine during C-sections. Sixty women having planned C-sections under general anesthesia will be randomly assigned to either standard monitoring or the Nociception Level Index-guided approach. The goal is to see if this leads to less pain after surgery, lower need for extra painkillers, and earlier first breastfeeding.

- Active substance
- Nociception Level Index Monitoring device used to guide fentanyl dosing during cesarean section
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this approach could offer better pain control after C-sections and faster recovery for new mothers.
