Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive finger sensor, called the Nociception Level (NOL) Index, can objectively measure pain, anxiety, and uterine activity in awake women undergoing elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. Researchers will monitor 100 women and compare sensor readings with their self-reported pain and anxiety levels. The goal is to understand how well the NOL Index works in awake patients and what factors might influence it.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If the NOL Index reliably tracks pain in awake patients, it could lead to better, more objective pain assessment during cesarean deliveries and other procedures under regional anesthesia.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. Anxiety and other factors may confuse the sensor readings, and results may not apply to all patients or settings.
