What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying the relationship between maternal circadian rhythm and postoperative pain after cesarean section under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia. The study focuses on women aged 20 to 45 years who are undergoing elective cesarean section. The goal is to explore how maternal biological rhythms may affect pain levels following surgery. Participants will wear a Huawei wristwatch device that continuously monitors respiration, heart rate, temperature, and sleep patterns. This device helps calculate the maternal circadian rhythm status during the study. The observation period includes the time from inclusion until the patient's discharge, with assessments up to one week post-surgery. During the study, researchers will record pain intensity using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at intervals from the end of surgery up to 24 hours afterward. They will monitor heart rate variability, body temperature variability, physical activity, and sleep phases such as deep sleep and rapid eye movement sleep. These data aim to identify correlations between circadian rhythm and pain after cesarean section. Participants will be closely followed until discharge and assessed for safety and well-being throughout the study period.
