Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Tramadol  The patients posted for lower segment caesarean section will be evaluated for any allergic reaction to Tramadol by performing skin test by injecting 0.1ml of Tramadol. The total dose of Tramadol 2mg/kg will be diluted with 20ml NS,patients will be randomized into two groups and will receive either wound infiltration (Group W) or Transversus Abdominis Plane block (Group T). 
Intervention  Transversus Abdominis Plane Block and Wound Infiltration   Pregnant female patients posted for lower segment caesarean section requiring spinal anaesthesia will be randomized into 2 groups,one group will receive wound infiltration, given just before the skin closure , with Tramadol (2mg/kg bodyweight, diluted in 20ml NS) and the second group will receive Transversus Abdominis Plane Block where the diluted drug (Tramadol 2mg/kg body weight is diluted with 20ml NS) is divided in to two halves and administered post operatively, under USG guidance, between lower costal margin and iliac crest on both sides, for post-operative analgesia

Brief Summary   This study aims to compare the efficacy of equal doses of Tramadol in wound infiltration versus Transversus Abdominis Plane block after LSCS under Spinal anaesthesia for post-operative analgesia.

The primary objective is to assess the duration of analgesia after wound infiltration versus Transversus Abdominis Plane block with Tramadol , in Lower Segment caesarean section patients.
The Secondary objective is (a) to know the total analgesic consumption in 24hours.
(b) to know the incidence of side effects like post operative nausea, vomiting and rashes at the site of injection of Tramadol.

Methodology - This prospective study will be conducted at our institution over a period of 1.5 years. In this study 140 American society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status II female patients between age 18 to 45 years with BMI <35kg/m2 posted for lower segment caesarean section requiring spinal anesthesia will be included.
 After taking written informed consent, patients will be randomized to two groups (n= 140) by block randomization. All patients will be thoroughly examined pre-operatively which include history, general physical examination, and checking the vital parameters of the patients such as blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate and systemic examination, and ASA grading. The patients will be evaluated for any allergic reaction to Tramadol by performing skin test by injecting 0.1ml of Tramadol. The patients with a contraindication to spinal anesthesia or major neurological, cardiovascular, metabolic, respiratory, renal disease, or coagulation abnormalities or allergic to Tramadol will be excluded.
While the patients are still on the operating table, patients will be randomized and will receive either wound infiltration (Group W) or TAP block (Group T).The total dose of Tramadol 2mg/kg will be diluted with 20ml NS. Wound infiltration will be given just before closure of the skin and in TAP block the diluted drug will be divided into 2 halves and will be given under USG guidance, between the lower costal margin and iliac crest on both sides, after closure of skin. Double blinding is done. The patient is blinded regarding the study drug and study procedure. The patient data collection and analysis will be done by anesthesiologists who are blinded regarding the study drug and study group.
Immediately after the operation, the patients will be shifted to the post op recovery room. Considering the baseline VAS score as zero, the VAS score will be serially assessed at regular intervals starting from 60 min to till 24hrs post surgery.
