Double Blinded Randomized Placebo Controlled Study in Evaluating the Effectiveness of IV Acetaminophen for Acute Post Operative Pain in C-Section Patients
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating IV Acetaminophen and Saline as placebo for Post-operative Pain. Completed, enrolled 66 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Post-operative pain management after C-section is an important topic as the number of elective c-sections increases each year. Pain is managed either by giving opioids or by using non-opioids. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of IV Acetaminophen in pain relief and its impact in the usage of post-operative opioid requirements and opioid associated complications. The hypothesis is that four doses of IV Acetaminophen in conjunction with intrathecal or epidural morphine given to the patients after c-section will reduce post-operative opioid requirements and opioid associated complications.
