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 numbing injection near the pelvic floor plus physical therapy can prevent long-term pain after an episiotomy or first-time tear during vaginal delivery. It aims to help women recover more comfortably after childbirth.
This study tests whether applying cold therapy to the perineum (the area between the vagina and anus) after an episiotomy (a surgical cut made during childbirth) can help reduce pain and promote healing. If you had a normal vaginal delivery with an episiotomy and are otherwise healthy, this trial might be a good fit for you.
This trial tests different physiotherapy methods to see which helps most with recovery after gynecological abdominal surgery. It may be a good fit if you've recently had a hysterectomy or similar surgery and want to improve your recovery.
This study looks at whether starting physical therapy soon after endometriosis surgery helps with recovery and pelvic pain. You may be able to join if you are having surgery for endometriosis (but not a hysterectomy), have had pelvic pain for at least 6 months, and have high-tone pelvic floor dysfunction (tight pelvic muscles found during an exam).
This study looks at how well the pelvic floor (the muscles supporting your bladder, uterus, and bowel) recovers after a vaginal birth. It tests whether starting gentle exercises soon after delivery helps improve recovery.
