This study, called the COMFORT Trial, is looking at how well a nerve block called a Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block helps manage pain after complex cesarean deliveries. If you join, you would receive either bupivacaine (a numbing medicine) or a placebo (saltwater) as part of your TAP block during surgery. The researchers want to see if bupivacaine reduces the amount of opioid pain medicine you need after surgery. You may be able to join if you are a woman between 18 and 50 years old and have a history of certain abdominal surgeries or three or more prior cesarean deliveries. The study will measure how much pain medication you request between 24 and 48 hours after surgery. The current status of this study is unclear.
