Enhanced Post-Cesarean Pain Control in a Low-Resource Setting: A Prospective Open-Label NonRandomized Controlled Trial on Ultrasound-Guided TAP Block with Intrathecal Morphine

Background

Effective post-cesarean pain management is critical for maternal recovery. The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is an emerging regional anesthesia technique that may enhance pain control when combined with intrathecal morphine (ITM). This study evaluated the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided TAP block with ITM versus ITM alone for post-cesarean pain management.
