Inadequate pain relief during cesarean under spinal anesthesia
Official title: Incidence, Associated Factors, and Management of Inadequate Analgesia During Cesarean Section Under Spinal Anesthesia in the Maternity Wards of the Strasbourg University Hospital: a 2-year Retrospective Study
Run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France · NCT07312487 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will try to identify which cesarean patients given spinal anesthesia had inadequate pain relief and how those cases were managed at Strasbourg University Hospital.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adult women (age ≥18) who underwent cesarean delivery at Strasbourg University Hospital between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2022 and who did not object to reuse of their data are eligible for inclusion.
✕Probably not a fit
Women who delivered outside that hospital or date range, minors, or those who explicitly opposed reuse of their data would not be included and thus would not directly benefit from this work.

What this trial studies
This is a retrospective observational review of cesarean deliveries performed at the Hôpitaux Universitaires de Strasbourg between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2022, focusing on episodes of inadequate analgesia under spinal anesthesia. Investigators will extract clinical and management data from records to describe patient and procedural characteristics, timing, and treatments used when pain control was insufficient. The work is framed by the 2021 SFAR national recommendations and aims to identify local risk factors and gaps in current practice. Results will be used to draft a protocol for prevention and management tailored to the local setting.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the protocol could reduce occurrences of inadequate pain control during cesarean deliveries and improve patient comfort and safety.
How similar studies have gone: National SFAR guidance and prior observational reports have described inadequate analgesia in cesarean deliveries, but locally tailored, data-driven prevention and management protocols are relatively uncommon.
