Evaluating pain relief techniques after cesarean sections
Evaluation of the Effect of Postoperative Analgesia Techniques on Obstetric Recovery Quality With ObsQoR-10
This study tests which pain relief method works better after cesarean sections by comparing a TAP block, wound infiltration, and just spinal anesthesia to see how they affect recovery.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of two postoperative analgesia techniques, transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and wound infiltration, in patients undergoing elective cesarean sections. Patients will be divided into three groups: one receiving TAP block, another receiving wound infiltration, and a control group receiving only spinal anesthesia. The study will assess recovery quality using the Obstetric Quality of Recovery-10 (ObsQoR-10) questionnaire, along with pain scores, analgesic consumption, and adverse effects within the first 24 hours post-surgery. Data will be collected at multiple time points to determine the best analgesia method for postoperative recovery.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are term obstetric patients aged 18-50 years scheduled for elective cesarean sections under spinal anesthesia.
Not a fit: Patients who have undergone general anesthesia or require emergency cesarean sections will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved pain management and recovery outcomes for patients undergoing cesarean sections.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising results with similar analgesia techniques, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
