Touch, focus and massage for pain after c-section
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining virtual reality, focused attention and gentle touch can help reduce pain and anxiety after a cesarean section, and improve breastfeeding and early movement. It may be a good fit for new mothers who had a single baby with spinal or epidural anesthesia.
