This randomized controlled trial, compared postoperative pain score in patient undergoing cesarean delivery between bupivacaine peritoneal and subcutaneous infiltration and diclofenac intramuscular injection

Read the detailed description

Postoperative cesarean delivery was painful that can effect daily activity, resulted in poor quality of life and required morphine injection to relief pain which had both maternal and breastfeeding infancy side effect. So this study compare efficacy of diclofenac and bupivacaine by measured the pain score and requirement of morphine injection.

Being tested
Bupivacaine, Diclofenac
