Early General Anesthesia to Limit Experiences of Trauma During Cesarean Section-Pilot Study (NCT07334418)

EAGLET-CS Pilot: Early General Anesthesia to Limit Experiences of Trauma During Cesarean Section-Pilot Study

🟒 Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic πŸ“‹ Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: University of Pennsylvania

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Some patients who undergo cesarean section under spinal or epidural anesthesia can experience severe pain. Some patients who experience this kind of pain can experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after pregnancy. Currently, the two main options for treating this pain are general anesthesia (full medically induced unconsciousness) and using intravenous medications to reduce the pain and decrease anxiety. The EAGLET-CS Pilot is a pilot randomized trial that will test the feasibility of comparing the impact of these two options for preventing PTSD in a rigorous way for those patients who experience pain during their cesarean section after the baby is out.
