What this trial studies

This prospective observational study collects preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data to identify factors associated with severe postoperative pain within 24 hours after elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. Researchers will analyze how patient characteristics, surgical details, and early pain responses relate to severe pain. The goal is to help predict which patients are at higher risk for intense pain and could benefit from targeted pain management. The study is conducted at Bursa City Hospital and involves pregnant women aged 18–45 who understand Turkish and consent to participate. It excludes emergency procedures, cases requiring general anesthesia, major hemorrhage, ICU care, chronic opioid use, and certain medical conditions that could confound pain assessment.
