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 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 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.
This study tests whether exercise can help close and strengthen the gap that often forms between abdominal muscles after pregnancy. Researchers will measure changes in this gap using ultrasound and track how exercise affects it.
This study follows women who have abdominal wall problems after childbirth, such as separated stomach muscles, and are having surgery. It uses questionnaires to see how they feel before and after treatment.
This study tests whether targeted abdominal and pelvic floor exercises after a cesarean section can help close the gap that often forms between belly muscles and improve sexual function during recovery.
