This study compares two anesthesia methods for planned C-sections: standard epidural and a newer technique called dural puncture epidural (DPE). The goal is to see which one provides faster pain relief and keeps the mother's blood pressure more stable. 72 women having a C-section…

This study tests whether music therapy, breathing exercises, or virtual reality can help women recover faster and feel better after a cesarean section. About 192 women will be randomly assigned to one of these three methods or standard care. The goal is to see which approach best…

This study compares two pain relief methods after a planned C-section: a small dose of morphine given with the spinal anesthetic, versus a numbing injection into the belly wall (TAP block). About 100 women will take part to see which approach provides better pain control with few…

This pilot study tests whether giving general anesthesia (being fully asleep) during a C-section can prevent post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in women who feel severe pain despite standard pain relief. About 600 women having a planned or non-emergency C-section will be enrol…

This study tests whether adding suzetrigine to standard pain relief helps women avoid opioids for the first 3 days after a C-section. About 90 women having scheduled or unscheduled C-sections will receive either suzetrigine or a placebo, along with usual pain medicines. The goal …

This study tests whether watching a video with information about a planned C-section is better than just talking with a doctor for reducing anxiety and stress. About 140 pregnant women will take part. Researchers will measure anxiety with a questionnaire and stress with a blood t…

This study looks at whether a simple neck ultrasound can predict a sudden drop in blood pressure during a C-section in women with preeclampsia. Researchers will measure the jugular vein collapsibility before spinal anesthesia and track blood pressure changes afterward. The goal i…

This study will look at medical records of 770 women who had C-sections in two hospitals in Assiut, Egypt, during 2026. Researchers will use the WHO's Robson system to group women by their pregnancy details and see which groups have the most C-sections. The goal is to find ways t…

This study tests whether listening to binaural beats (a type of sound therapy) can lower the amount of anxiety medication needed during a C-section done under spinal anesthesia. Researchers will compare two groups of pregnant women: one that listens to binaural beats and one that…

This study looks at how mothers and fathers feel about the father being present or absent during a planned cesarean section. Researchers will interview 30 couples in Rome after the birth to understand their emotions, expectations, and support from hospital staff. The goal is to l…
