Buprenorphine vs morphine for pain control after cesarean delivery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized interventional study compares two intrathecal analgesics, buprenorphine and morphine, given during neuraxial anesthesia for elective cesarean deliveries. Eligible participants are women carrying a singleton pregnancy at term. The trial investigates which drug offers superior pain relief and potentially fewer side effects in the immediate postoperative period. Results could influence standard pain-management practices after cesarean sections. The study is led by Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and conducted at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York.
