Detailed Description

Cesarean deliveries are prevalent. Unlike other operations, quick recovery is required for the mother to nurture the newborn child and establishing an appropriate mother-child bonding. Therefore, effective pain management is crucial. In this study we would like to compare between two pain relievers' administration protocols:
