CESAREAN SECTION

This study tests if giving C-section babies bacteria from their mother can help restore their gut microbiome to be more like babies born vaginally. Researchers will compare these maternal bacteria to standard probiotics. One hundred healthy infants will receive a daily oral bacte…

This study compares two ways of giving the drug ondansetron (a lozenge that dissolves in the mouth versus an injection into a vein) to prevent shivering in women having a cesarean section. About 90 women will take part. The goal is to see which method works better at stopping shi…

This study looks at whether giving a fecal microbiota transplant to babies born by C-section can improve their gut bacteria and help prevent overweight or obesity. Researchers will track the growth and health of 534 infants who receive the transplant shortly after birth. The goal…

This study aims to find the ideal dose of spinal morphine to control pain after a C-section. Researchers will test different doses in 100 healthy women having planned C-sections, adjusting the dose based on each woman's pain relief. The goal is to keep pain scores low for at leas…

This study tests two pain-relief methods for women having a C-section: a nerve block (TFP block) and a spinal medication (dexmedetomidine). The goal is to see which provides better pain control and reduces the need for morphine. Fifty women will participate, and their pain levels…

This study compares two ways to manage pain after a planned cesarean section: a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) versus morphine given during spinal anesthesia. The goal is to see which method helps mothers recover better and feel more comfortable during their hospital st…

This study tests whether a short, guided breathing exercise done right before spinal anesthesia can help prevent a dangerous drop in blood pressure during planned C-sections. About 150 pregnant women will be randomly assigned to either do the breathing exercise or receive standar…

This study tests whether it's safe to skip placing a bladder catheter during planned cesarean sections. 550 pregnant women who can urinate on their own before surgery will be randomly assigned to either get the catheter or not. The goal is to see if skipping it leads to more wome…

This study looks at whether a continuous pain pump delivering numbing medicine (bupivacaine) after a C-section can lower the need for stronger painkillers like opioids. About 100 pregnant adults having C-sections at a special care center will be randomly assigned to get either th…

This study looks at whether drinking a carbohydrate-rich clear liquid two hours before a planned C-section can improve recovery and comfort. One hundred women will be randomly assigned to receive either the carbohydrate drink or plain distilled water. Researchers will measure rec…

This study compares two methods of giving a pain-relieving shot (TAP block) after a planned C-section: one guided by ultrasound and one done by the surgeon during the operation. Fifty women will take part to see which method works better and faster for controlling pain after surg…

This study compares two medications, epinephrine and dexmedetomidine, added to spinal anesthesia for planned cesarean sections. The goal is to see which one provides longer pain relief and faster recovery of movement. 62 pregnant women aged 18-55 will take part.

This study tests whether giving less or more IV fluids during a planned C-section affects nausea, vomiting, and how quickly the bowels start working again. 160 women having elective C-sections under spinal anesthesia will be randomly assigned to one of two fluid groups. The goal …

This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) goggles or a sedative drug called dexmedetomidine is better at reducing anxiety and stress in women having a planned cesarean section. About 52 mothers will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods. The goal is to find a s…

This study checks if a woman's waist size, body mass index (BMI), and a heart-related index can predict a common complication of spinal anesthesia during C-sections: a sudden drop in blood pressure. Researchers will measure 321 pregnant women before their scheduled C-section and …

This study explores how severe sleep deprivation in the first two days after childbirth impacts a mother's motivation to breastfeed and how well breastfeeding goes. Researchers will follow 167 new mothers, measuring their sleep quality, breastfeeding drive, and feeding success us…

This study looks at how the length of time you fast before a planned C-section affects how well you recover. About 100 women having a planned C-section will answer 11 questions about their recovery 24 hours after surgery. The goal is to see if shorter or longer fasting times lead…

This study is for pregnant women having a planned C-section under spinal anesthesia. It measures vitamin D levels before surgery and tracks blood pressure changes during the procedure. The goal is to see if low vitamin D is linked to more frequent or severe drops in blood pressur…

This study tests whether an Enhanced Recovery After Cesarean (ERAS) protocol—a set of steps to help mothers recover faster—improves how mothers and fathers bond with their newborn. About 300 families having a planned or needed C-section will be randomly assigned to either the ERA…
