Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The local data is insufficient to directly compare IV nalbuphine versus ibuprofen among people in this region. The findings of this study would add to the existing data and would be helpful for health providers to opt for a better option for postoperative pain relief following a cesarean section under general anesthesia.
