Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of using lidocaine patches after cesarean section on pain control and opioid use in the immediate post-operative period. The hypothesis is the use of lidocaine patches in the immediate post-operative period will lead to a decrease in the visual analog pain score compared to women who do not use a lidocaine patch in the immediate post-operative period following cesarean delivery. Additionally, a decrease in the use of opioids as pain control compared to patients that do not have a lidocaine patch in place the is anticipated.
