C-Section spinal dose study: more drug may not mean more numbness
NCT ID NCT06729567
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study reviewed the records of 362 women who had a C-section under spinal anesthesia. Researchers wanted to see if using a higher dose of the anesthetic bupivacaine (within the usual range) led to more areas of the body being numbed. The goal is to help doctors choose the safest dose that still works well. The study is already completed and the results may guide future practice.
