ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how different methods of pain relief after a cesarean delivery can affect breastfeeding for new mothers. The researchers want to understand if a specific pain relief technique called TAP block can help mothers feel better and make it easier for them to start breastfeeding their babies. The World Health Organization recommends that babies should be exclusively breastfed for at least six months because it’s very beneficial for their health and development.

To participate in this trial, women aged 18 to 45 who are scheduled for an elective cesarean delivery and expect to stay in the hospital for at least three nights may be eligible. Participants will need to be able to use a special system that allows them to manage their own pain relief after surgery. Throughout the trial, mothers can expect support in their breastfeeding journey while receiving effective pain management. This study is important because it aims to find ways to improve the breastfeeding experience for mothers who have had cesarean births, which can often be more challenging than for those who have vaginal deliveries.
