ED90 of 0.75% Bupivacaine for Bilateral Tubal Ligation (BTL)

Phase 4
Withdrawn
Conditions
Pain
Interventions
Drug: Hyperbaric bupivacaine
Registration Number
NCT05017584
Lead Sponsor
Duke University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the dose of bupivacaine that provides effective pain management in 90% (ED90) of patients undergoing bilateral tubal ligation. This will guide anesthesiologists on the most effective dose to minimize intraoperative pain during this procedure. The goal is to make women as comfortable as possible when they undergo this procedure while also minimizing the amount of time they are required to remain in the hospital afterwards for monitoring.
