New study tests simple injection to ease C-Section pain

This study looks at whether adding a TAP block (a numbing injection in the belly wall) to standard pain care helps women feel less pain after a C-section. About 70 women having a planned C-section under spinal anesthesia will be randomly assigned to get either the TAP block or usual pain medicine alone. Researchers will track pain scores, how much opioid painkiller is needed, and overall recovery quality in the first 24 hours.
