The Efficacy of Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Versus Wound Infiltration for Analgesia After Cesarean Delivery:

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Cesarean Section Complications

• Registration Number: NCT04874168
• Lead Sponsor: Ain Shams University

Brief Summary

This study aimed to compare bilateral ultrasound-guided TAP block with single-shot local anesthetic wound infiltration for analgesia after cesarean delivery performed under spinal anesthesia

Detailed Description

This double-blind, randomized controlled trial aimed to compare bilateral ultrasound-guided TAP block to single-shot local anesthetic wound infiltration for analgesia after cesarean delivery performed under spinal anesthesia. This will be done by measuring VAS (visual analogue score) for pain after ceserian section at2, 4, 6, 12, 24 hours .
