Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if giving an injection of numbing medication at the
incision at the end of cesarean will help control pain AFTER cesarean delivery. This study
seeks to assess pain relief with incisional infiltration of local anesthetic during cesareans
performed under spinal anesthesia also using intrathecal opioids. Participants will receive
the usual regimen of pain medication in spinal anesthesia. At the end of the cesarean
delivery, while the participants are still under the spinal medication, participants will
receive an injection, at the incision, either numbing medication (with or without
epinephrine) or sterile saline. After the cesarean delivery, participants will receive, by
mouth, commonly prescribed pain medications - these medications are oxycodone (an opioid/
narcotic), acetaminophen (or more commonly known as Tylenol), and ibuprofen.
