Can we predict severe pain after C-Section?
NCT ID NCT07789301
First seen Aug 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 200 women having planned cesarean deliveries under spinal anesthesia to see which factors predict severe pain in the first 24 hours after surgery. Researchers will record details before, during, and after the operation, including anxiety levels and pain scores. The goal is to find early warning signs that could help doctors manage pain better.
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 it works, this could help doctors identify women at higher risk of severe pain after a cesarean and tailor pain management more effectively.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may not apply to all hospitals or patient groups.
