Study Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of using lidocaine patches after cesarean section on pain control and opioid use in the immediate post-operative period. The hypothesis is the use of lidocaine patches in the immediate post-operative period will lead to a decrease in the visual analog pain score compared to women who do not use a lidocaine patch in the immediate post-operative period following cesarean delivery. Additionally, a decrease in the use of opioids as pain control compared to patients that do not have a lidocaine patch in place the is anticipated.

Primary Outcome

Daily pain scores conducted by the nursing staff every morning and prior to medication administration. This will be a repeated measure using the subjective 0-10 pain scale. The scores will be averaged over each 24 hour (day) period and then compared. Lower scores indicate less pain.
