Detailed description

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of topically applied lidocaine-prilocaine (EMLA) cream with local anesthetic (lidocaine) infiltration on post-cesarean section pain. Research Question: Is lidocaine-prilocaine (EMLA) cream application effective as compared to local anesthetic (lidocaine) infiltration on post-caesarean section pain? Research Hypothesis: Lidocaine-prilocaine (EMLA) cream application is effective in post\_caesarean section pain as compared to local anesthetic (lidocaine) infiltration. Clinical Application : Topical Lidocaine-prilocaine (EMLA) cream could be applied frequent times postoperatively, unlike infiltration with local anesthetic.
