NCT06978491

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of postoperative analgesia techniques-transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and wound infiltration-on recovery in patients undergoing elective cesarean section, using the Obstetric Quality of Recovery-10 (ObsQoR-10) questionnaire. The secondary objective is to assess pain scores, analgesic consumption, and adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, and pruritus within the first 24 hours postoperatively.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Obstetric Quality of Recovery-10

    The ObsQoR-10 questionnaire consists of 10 questions that assess the patient-reported quality of recovery in obstetric patients' postoperative period using an 11-point scale (0 = strongly negative; 10 = strongly positive) that points to a minimum score of 0 (worst possible recovery) and a maximum score of 100 (best possible recovery).

    At postoperative 24th hours

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Postoperative pain score, analgesic consumption

    At postoperative 24 hours (0, 2, 6,12,24)
