Improving Pain Relief For Those Who Need It Most After Cesarean Delivery

In previous studies the investigators have seen that the severity of pain one day after
cesarean delivery can predict the presence of pain and depression 2 months later. The
investigators believe those at risk for severe acute post-partum pain can be identified, and
medical interventions can be tailored to manage postoperative pain more effectively.

This study is randomizing patients into 2 different groups and seeing if by altering our pain
management with this group of patients their acute 24 hour evoked pain is less than
anticipated; and the incidence of persistent pain and depression when contacted 2 months
after delivery is decreased. This study is designed to see if these additional interventions
would prove effective for patients at risk of having high pain level after cesarean surgery.
