169: Multimodal pain management for cesarean delivery: A randomized control trial

Opioid misuse/addiction may develop after medically-indicated use, such as postoperative pain management.

Our objective was to evaluate the efficacy of multimodal pain management in reducing opioid use after scheduled CD.
