Test exercise repair methods for abdominal muscle separation
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to repair a common condition called “diastasis” (abdominal muscle separation) after pregnancy. It studies whether one surgical/repair approach works better for people whose structured training did not help after six months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman who has had at least one pregnancy.
- You are between 20 and 50 years old.
- You have at least a 2 cm abdominal muscle separation at your belly-button level.
- Your body weight is in a healthier range (BMI under 30).
- You tried a structured training program for at least 6 months, but it did not work.

This trial tests a rehabilitation program for people with abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti) that is larger than 3 cm. It may help if you are at least one year past childbirth or weight loss and have a BMI under 30.
This trial looks at reconstructing the abdominal wall when the abdominal muscles have separated. It may help people with abdominal instability and back or abdominal pain even after at least 6 months of structured exercise or physical therapy.
This trial tests a 3-month naprapathy (hands-on therapy) training program to help prevent worsening abdominal muscle separation after pregnancy. It may help postpartum women whose abdominal muscles are noticeably separated.
This trial tests two types of exercises to help close the gap that forms between your abdominal muscles after pregnancy. The study compares a specific core exercise with ankle resistance to see which helps your abdominal muscles come back together more effectively.
This study tests a treatment that uses a special electromagnetic field device to help close the gap in your tummy muscles that can happen after having a baby. It is for women who gave birth at least 6 months ago and still have a separation that is wider than 2.5 cm at the belly button.
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.
