Encouraging fewer episiotomies during childbirth
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests different ways to help doctors and nurses use fewer episiotomies—a cut made during childbirth. It aims to make delivery safer and more comfortable for mothers by reducing unnecessary procedures.

This study aims to see if a video-supported 'flipped learning' method (where you watch videos before class and then practice in class) is effective for teaching episiotomy (a surgical cut made during childbirth to ease delivery) to midwifery students. It could help you learn this important skill in a more engaging and flexible way.
This trial compares using surgical staples versus traditional stitches to repair an episiotomy (a cut made during childbirth) in women having their first vaginal birth. It aims to see which method causes less pain and helps the wound heal better.
This study tests whether breastfeeding, virtual reality, or squeezing a stress ball can help reduce pain, anxiety, and stress during the stitching of a tear after childbirth. It may help new mothers feel more comfortable during this procedure.
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 compares a special blood treatment called platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to standard care for healing the cut made during childbirth (episiotomy). PRP uses your own blood to help the wound heal faster and with less pain.
This study tests whether listening to music and squeezing a stress ball during and after childbirth can help the placenta come out faster, reduce pain from an episiotomy (a small cut made during delivery), and improve breastfeeding success. If you are having your first baby and a vaginal birth, this might be a helpful way to feel more comfortable.
