NCT ID NCT06341049
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested three different ways to manage pain after a cesarean section (C-section) to see which helps mothers recover best. 120 women who had planned C-sections were randomly assigned to one of three pain relief methods. The researchers measured recovery using a simple questionnaire called ObsQoR-10 at 24 and 48 hours after surgery.
