Study aim
-
Determination of the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine with sufentanil in intrathecal ropivacaine supplementation on analgesia in the elective cesarean section.

Design
-
This study is a double-blinded clinical trial. One hundred and thirty-six patients will be selected in an available method and simple randomly assigned to two intervention groups. Then the intervention is done. After the surgery, the pain and duration of analgesia and headaches are measured by means of the VAS tool and recorded in the checklist, and the two groups are compared with each other.

The study will be performed in the gynecology ward of Imam Reza Hospital in Kermanshah. Randomization of patients between the first intervention group (dexmedetomidine /ropivacaine ) and the second group(sufentanil /ropivacaine) is done using random allocation software. In this software, the total sample size and number of nodes are entered into the software. The output of Shalam software is a list that randomly distributes patients in groups 1 and 2.
