Brief summary
The purpose of this study to determine the association between postoperative pain after cesarean section and several single nucleotide polymorphisms in SCN9A sodium channels gene.
Detailed description
SCN9A gene encodes an alpha subunit of the voltage-gated sodium channel (Nav1.7) and polymorphisms of this gene are associated with severe pain disorders. The impact of the polymorphisms in SCN9A on postoperative pain and opioid consumption after cesarean section is unclear.
Interventions
Women in 36 to 40 weeks of pregnancy undergoing cesarean section by Pfannenstiel technique
Tramadol will be administered via patient controlled analgesia (PCA) pump in the postoperative period
