First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests if a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can prevent or reduce the severe itching that often follows morphine use after cesarean section. About 104 women having a C-section will receive either real or sham tDCS, and researchers will track how many experience itching in the first 24 hours. The goal is to find a safe, drug-free way to manage this common side effect.
