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 observational study aims to prospectively assess the incidence and characteristics of persistent pain in women following cesarean section surgery at 3, 6, and 12 months post-operation. It will utilize regression analysis and data modeling to explore the relationship between various perioperative factors and the development of chronic pain. Additionally, the study will examine how chronic pain may correlate with postpartum depression, impacting the quality of life for new mothers.
