A Comparison of the Post-C/S Analgesic Effects of Neuraxial Duramorph vs

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective is to reduce or eliminate the use of all narcotics/opiates for post Cesarean section pain management. The investigators hypothesize that in comparison with epidural or intrathecal Duramorph, a TAP block with liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel) will provide better, longer-acting pain control and will significantly reduce the use of post-operative IV or p.o. opiates. This is a prospective, randomized clinical trial.

Clinical Trial Description

The investigators will compare the analgesic efficacy and duration of an ultrasound guided bilateral TAP Block (with combined bupivacaine and liposomal bupivacaine) to Duramorph (an opiate). Neuraxial duramorph provides approximately 24 hours of pain relief (analgesia), whereas a bilateral TAP block with liposomal bupivacaine is expected to provide up to 72 hours of analgesia. All participants will have neuraxial anesthesia (either a spinal or epidural) for their non-urgent or elective Cesarean section. The control group (Group 1) will receive either intrathecal or epidural Duramorph (preservative-free morphine sulfate). Post-operatively, participants will have orders to receive, on an as-needed basis, IV/oral acetaminophen and/or IV/oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) for mild-moderate pain, and narcotics for severe pain; specifically- oxycodone or hydromorphone. All patients must receive acetaminophen and NSAIDS (unless contraindicated) before receiving narcotics. This multi-modal pain management regimen is our current standard of care. The experimental group (Group 2) will also receive a spinal or epidural anesthetic. This group will not receive neuraxial Duramorph for post-operative pain. Instead, the patient will receive an ultrasound guided bilateral TAP block with a combination of bupivacaine and liposomal bupivacaine solution immediately after the Cesarean section. Additionally, all participants will receive the same post-operative analgesia orders as group 1. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
