Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Post-cesarean section (CS) pain is commonly treated with acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and opioid medications as needed following delivery. About 300,000 women annually who were exposed to opioids after CS will go on to use opioids chronically. Reducing the quantity of post-CS opioids has been shown to decrease the amount of opioids used without compromising pain control. Bridge is a small device that sits on the outer ear and works similarly to a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) unit to decrease pain sensation without medications. It has been shown to effectively reduce pain to decrease medication requirements after surgeries. This study aims to see if women receiving the Bridge device use need less pain medication than those without the device.
