High Pain Intervention in Cesarean Sections

Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Other Chronic Postoperative Pain

In brief

In previous studies the investigators have seen that the severity of pain one day after cesarean delivery can predict the presence of pain and depression 2 months later. The investigators believe those at risk for severe acute post-partum pain can be identified, and medical interventions can be tailored to manage postoperative pain more effectively.
