Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Pain evaluation with Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)

Time Frame: Pain evaluation with NRS at 2,6,12,24 hours after cesarean delivery in TAP block group and in the control group.

We don't want to measure the change between each assessment within a single group, instead we want considering the difference in the measurements between two separate groups (TAP block group and control group) for each time point.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Evaluation of NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) consumption as rescue dose during the first 24 hours after cesarean delivery(Doses of NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) administered at 2, 6, 12 ,24 hours after cesarean delivery TAP block group and in the control group.)
