New tool aims to capture C-Section pain from the Patient's perspective
NCT ID NCT07409012
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is creating a new tool to measure pain during cesarean delivery. Researchers will review existing research, ask experts for their input, and interview 15 women who recently had a C-section to make sure the tool reflects what patients actually experience. The goal is to improve how pain is assessed, not to test a treatment.
