CESAREAN DELIVERY

This study tested whether a technique called membrane stripping, done during early labor, could help first-time mothers progress faster and avoid a C-section. 71 women with full-term, single pregnancies took part. The goal was to see if this simple procedure could safely reduce t…

This study looked at 60 women having planned C-sections to compare two pain relief methods: a small dose of morphine given with the spinal anesthetic, and an ultrasound-guided numbing injection into the belly wall. The goal was to see which approach better reduces the need for ex…

This study looked at whether playing music to women after a cesarean delivery can help reduce pain, increase comfort, and improve the bond between mother and baby. Sixty-two new mothers were randomly assigned to listen to a special type of music twice in the first 24 hours after …

This study tested two different pain medicines given during a planned C-section: one injected into the spine (morphine) and one into a vein (methadone). The goal was to see which approach led to less total opioid use in the first two days after delivery. Thirty women participated…

This study tested whether adding a numbing injection (wound infiltration and nerve block) plus an anti-inflammatory drug (dexamethasone) during a planned C-section could lower the number of women experiencing severe pain after surgery. 100 women who had planned C-sections under s…

This study looked at whether giving a single dose of dexamethasone (a steroid) through an IV can help reduce pain after a cesarean delivery. The goal was to see if it could lower the need for strong painkillers like morphine and improve recovery. The study involved 87 women who h…

This study followed 477 women who had a planned cesarean delivery in Denmark. Researchers sent text-message surveys to track pain levels, medication use, and how pain affected daily activities over several months. The goal was to learn how common persistent pain is after C-sectio…

This study looked at 94 women having planned C-sections under spinal anesthesia. It compared two medicines used to prevent low blood pressure: one given as a steady drip (phenylephrine) and the other as rescue shots (ephedrine). The goal was to see which approach leads to better …

This study looked at 45 super obese women (BMI over 50) having a planned C-section to find the best dose of spinal anesthesia. The goal was to ensure the anesthesia worked well without needing extra pain medicine during surgery. The results help doctors give safer, more effective…
