About this trial

This prospective observational study aims to identify predictors of severe postoperative pain during the first 24 hours after elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative factors will be evaluated to determine their association with severe postoperative pain.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of Severe Postoperative Pain

Severe postoperative pain will be defined as a Numerical Rating Scale score of 6 or higher. The scale ranges from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater pain intensity.

Time frame
Within 24 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes

1

Preoperative Anxiety Score

Preoperative anxiety will be assessed using the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale anxiety subscale. Scores range from 4 to 20, with higher scores indicating greater anxiety.

Time frame
Before surgery
2

Preoperative Information Requirement Score

Information requirements will be assessed using the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale information subscale. Scores range from 2 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater information needs.

Time frame
Before surgery
3

Expected Postoperative Pain

Expected postoperative pain will be assessed using a Numerical Rating Scale ranging from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater expected pain.

Time frame
Before surgery
4

Intraoperative Visceral Pain

The proportion of patients who experience visceral pain during cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia will be recorded as a binary outcome (Yes/No).

Time frame
During surgery
