New treatment option for Morphine
Official title Determining the Optimal Dose of Intrathecal Morphine for Post-Cesarean Analgesia
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07023497
What this study is testing
What is Intrathecal morphine?
Intrathecal morphine is an investigational medicine, given as an injection under the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for morphine.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- Using spinal or epidural anesthesia (known as neuraxial blocks) is the gold standard for pain control during childbirth, especially in cesarean sections (C-sections). However, many women experience moderate to severe pain after a C-section, which can affect both their physical and emotional well-being, and even impact their ability to care for their newborn.
