Intervention / Comparator Agent

Type |
Name |
Details |
Comparator Agent |
dexamethasone |
The analgesic effects of steroids is through peripheral inhibition of phospholipase enzymes which decreases the products of the cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways in the inflammatory response. Dexamethasone modulates neurotransmitter or glucocorticoid receptor density in the nucleus of the solitary tract, the raphe nucleus and the area postrema thereby exerting its antiemetic effect. Dexamethasone crosses the placenta to the fetus and is excreted in the breast milk, without any adverse outcomes. |
Intervention |
gabapentin |
Gabapentin, is a structural analogue of neurotransmitter GABA (gamma amino butyric acid) and acts on the same receptors. It binds to α2δ subunit of the spinal voltage gated calcium channel and decreases the calcium influx, which decreases the release of glutamate and substance P (excitatory neurotransmitters) from primary nociceptive afferents, thereby modulating nociceptive transmission. Antiemetic effect is by mitigation of tachykinin neurotransmitter activity. Although the trans placental transfer of gabapentin does occur, no increased risks for adverse fetal or neonatal outcomes have been attributed to its use. |

Brief Summary
|
Postoperative pain is the most common and unpleasant complication in women undergoing cesarean section. Systemic and neuraxial medications, non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs, often in combination are used to treat pain in this population, however they do not relieve pain completely. This study will add on to the existing techniques to alleviate postoperative pain, nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing cesarean section |
