NCT ID NCT06811714
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 140 women who had a C-section to see if the type of anesthesia (general vs. regional) changes the levels of natural antioxidants in their breast milk. Researchers collected a small milk sample 6 hours after surgery. The goal was simply to observe and compare, not to treat any condition.
