Recruiting studies
- NCT07628400Recruiting
Exercise comparison for postpartum abdominal separation
This study compares two types of gentle exercises to help close the gap that forms between abdominal muscles after childbirth. You'll be assigned to one exercise program and measured to see which works better.
Sukkur, Punjab ProvinceAges 24–40 - NCT06723353Recruiting
Combined therapy for belly separation in new mothers
This trial tests if a gentle hands-on treatment (visceral manipulation) plus special tape (kinesio taping) can help close the gap in your belly muscles, reduce pain, stop bladder leaks, and improve your pelvic floor strength and overall well-being after childbirth.
Karachi, SindhAges 35–45 - NCT07576218Recruiting
Pilates and prone plank exercises for postpartum abdominal separation
This study tests whether Pilates and specific core exercises can help close the gap between abdominal muscles (called diastasis recti) that commonly happens after pregnancy. Diastasis recti can cause weakness and discomfort, and this trial evaluates whether these exercises improve that condition.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–45 - NCT07440836Recruiting
Exercises for separated belly muscle after childbirth
This study compares two types of exercises to help close the gap in your belly muscles that can happen after pregnancy. It may be for you if you have a gap larger than 4cm and certain types of pain.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 25–40 - NCT04158180Recruiting
Questionnaire study for diastasis recti in adult women
This trial is testing and verifying a Spanish questionnaire about diastasis recti (a separation in the abdominal muscles). It may help by creating a tool that doctors and researchers can use to better understand symptoms and severity.
Plasencia, CáceresAges 18–65 - NCT07731724Recruiting
Barre and Tupler exercises for diastasis recti
This trial studies two types of core exercises (barre-based and Tupler technique) to see which works better for strengthening the core, closing the tummy gap, and improving pelvic floor function in women with diastasis recti after childbirth.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–40 - NCT07642141Recruiting
Exercises for Abdominal Separation After Vaginal Delivery
This study tests whether special abdominal exercises can help close the gap that sometimes forms between stomach muscles after pregnancy. You would do hypopressive exercises (a breathing technique) combined with abdominal bracing (core tightening) over several weeks.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 23–30 - NCT07389993Recruiting
Breathing muscle study after childbirth
This study looks at how childbirth affects the diaphragm and other breathing muscles in women with and without a condition called diastasis recti abdominis (abdominal muscle separation). It aims to understand differences in breathing muscle function to help guide future treatments.
Pátrai, AchaiaAges 18–50 - NCT06286553Recruiting
Ab muscle repair after childbirth: breathing and core training
This study tests if a program of trunk and breathing exercises can help close the gap in abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) that sometimes happens after pregnancy. It is for women who are at least 6 months postpartum and have a muscle separation larger than 2.8 cm.
PátraiAges 18–50 - NCT07839572Recruiting
Exercise effects on abdominal separation in seniors
This study looks at what causes the belly muscles to separate in older adults and whether specific exercises can help. If you join, you may help researchers find better ways to manage this condition.
Gdansk, PomeranianAges 60 years+ - NCT07805915Recruiting
Tummy tuck muscle tightening study
This study tests a new tummy tuck technique that also tightens the abdominal muscles. It may help patients with separated stomach muscles feel and look better after surgery.
MedellínAges 18 years+ - NCT04652830Recruiting
Training for abdominal separation after childbirth

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for diastasis recti?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 12 recruiting diastasis recti studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a diastasis recti trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a diastasis recti trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
