Pelvic pain relief after childbirth: massage vs device
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two non-surgical therapies for postpartum perineal pain: traditional perineal massage versus a small silicone device used inside the vagina. If you have persistent pain after a vaginal birth and have not tried other treatments yet, this trial may help you find relief.
