First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study looked at 60 women who had a planned cesarean section to see if a diclofenac injection into the muscle or a diclofenac suppository given rectally works better for pain relief. Both groups received the medicine every 8 hours for the first day after surgery. Pain levels and the need for extra pain medicine were compared to find the most effective and comfortable option.
