Inadequate Analgesia During Cesarean Section Under Spinal Anesthesia
France2,450 participantsStarted 2024-10-26
Plain-language summary
Inadequate analgesia during cesarean section is a common condition, notably addressed by national recommendations from the SFAR (French Society of Anesthesia and Intensive Care) in 2021.
The objective of this study is to identify the specific characteristics of this condition in Strasbourg in terms of risk factors and management, and then to propose a protocol for its prevention and management.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial is looking at inadequate pain relief during cesarean sections under spinal anesthesia — how common is it for spinal anesthesia to not provide enough pain control during a C-section, and what typically happens when that occurs?
2Since this trial is measuring rates of conversion to general anesthesia, does that mean there's a possibility I could need to be put under general anesthesia during the procedure, and what would that mean for me and my baby?
3This trial is listed as Phase NA, which often applies to studies observing or measuring what already happens rather than testing a new treatment — does participating in this trial change anything about how my pain would actually be managed during my C-section, or is it mainly observational?
4If I'm considering a planned cesarean section, what steps are already taken at this hospital to monitor and respond to inadequate spinal anesthesia, and would being in this trial affect any of those standard protocols?
5Are there particular risk factors that might make spinal anesthesia less likely to work well for me specifically, and is that something worth discussing before deciding whether this trial is worth exploring with my care team?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
