First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether certain factors can predict if a woman will develop persistent pain after a Caesarean section. Researchers will assess pain sensitivity, genetics, and other characteristics in women undergoing the procedure, then follow up to see who experiences long-term pain. The goal is to better understand and potentially prevent chronic post-surgical pain.
