Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of Ropivacaine combination with Dexamethasone analgesic effect and Ropivacaine combination with dexmedetomidine on pain after cesarean section by TAP Block method
Design
The study will have two 50 member groups. Random block randomization will be done by statistical software. The Phase 3 clinical trial study will be performed on 100 patients.
Settings and conduct
Study place: Delivery ward of Ayatollah Mousavi Hospital in Zanjan; Type of blinding: single-blind. How to blind: Patients will not be informed about the injected drug for bilateral block and only the researcher and the person injecting the drug are aware of this.

Randomization description
The method of randomization of patients will be random block. Based on the calculated sample size, the sample size in each group is 25 patients. positions are considered as 6 positions according to 2 groups: AABB, ABAB, BBAA, BABA, BAAB, ABBA. The positions are written on 6 cards and the selection of positions and their order will be randomly selected among the cards. The order of exit of the cards is written and will determine the order of recruitment of intervention groups based on it. Individuals will be assigned on a per-shift basis. An individual randomization unit will be used for the study. The information of registered persons will be anonymous and without their personal information.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
