Which spinal anesthetic works best for C-Sections?
NCT ID NCT06680167
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared two spinal anesthetics—prilocaine and bupivacaine—in 142 women having planned C-sections. Researchers measured how quickly each drug caused numbness and muscle relaxation, and how long those effects lasted. The goal was to see if prilocaine could be a good alternative to the standard bupivacaine.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
hyperbaric prilocaine 2% and hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5%
What this could lead to
If prilocaine works as well as bupivacaine, it could offer a faster-recovering option for spinal anesthesia during C-sections.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study (142 women) comparing two drugs already in use. Results may not apply to all patients or settings.
