NCT ID NCT05757401
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at how common poor sleep is after a C-section when spinal morphine is used for pain relief. Researchers followed 286 mothers and measured sleep quality, pain, nausea, and itching on the first night after surgery. The goal was to understand which factors lead to worse sleep, not to test a new treatment.
