This trial tests a pain relief routine using witch hazel pads and a numbing spray after vaginal surgery. The goal is to see if using these products together helps with recovery and reduces the need for stronger pain medicine.
This study tests a special physiotherapy program for first-time mothers who had a vaginal tear or episiotomy during childbirth. The goal is to see if it helps recovery better than standard care.
This study tests whether a hot sacral massage or a warm shower, done with support from your partner, can help manage pain and labor. It explores simple, comforting options for women who want to avoid pain medication during delivery.
This study tests whether listening to music or chewing gum during the repair of a small cut (episiotomy) after vaginal birth can reduce pain and anxiety and improve satisfaction. Women who have had their first baby and are having this repair may benefit from trying a simple, non-drug method to feel more comfortable.
This trial tests if applying cold therapy (cryotherapy) to the perineum after an episiotomy can help mothers heal and feel more comfortable. If you had a normal vaginal birth with an episiotomy and a healthy full-term baby, this study might be for you.
This trial tests whether a video about episiotomy care (a cut made during birth) helps new mothers heal better. If you had a low-risk pregnancy and a single, live, vaginal birth with an episiotomy, you might be able to join.
