Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.

This trial tests whether a special gel made with onion extract, applied using ultrasound (phonophoresis), can improve the appearance and healing of c-section scars. Participants will have the gel applied to their scar during ultrasound sessions to see if it reduces scar thickness and improves texture.
This study compares two types of gentle manual therapy (myofascial release and deep friction massage) to see which works better for reducing pain, helping the belly recover, and improving a C-section scar. It may be a good option if you're between 30–45, had a C-section over 6 months ago, and still have scar or pelvic pain.
This trial tests if a high-level laser can reduce pain and help healing after a cesarean section. If you've had a C-section and have incision pain, this treatment may offer relief without medication.
This study tests a painless light treatment (photobiomodulation) applied to the cesarean incision to see if it reduces pain after surgery. It might help you recover with less discomfort.
