Device for perineal descent in women after childbirth
Part of Digestive system, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a device called Femiset that is placed in the vagina to support the perineum (the area between the vagina and anus) for women who have difficulty emptying their bowels due to perineal descent. If the device helps, it might be a simpler option than surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman who has given birth
- You are 18 years or older
- You have symptoms of obstructed defecation syndrome — trouble emptying your bowels
- An MRI (pelvic scan) done within the past 3 years shows your perineum drops more than 4 cm when you strain
- Your pelvic floor muscles work normally (no dyssynergia — they don't tighten when they should relax)

This study tests a new device that uses a gentle electrical signal to check for tears after vaginal childbirth. It compares this device to the standard manual exam to see if it can find injuries more accurately.
This study tests a device called ASISU that is placed on the perineum during vaginal birth to help prevent tears. It is being used in routine hospital care for first-time mothers who are at least 37 weeks pregnant.
This study looks at the best ways to diagnose and treat accidental bowel leakage in women who had a tear during childbirth. It aims to improve care for women with this condition.
This study tests a new device called the Odon Device, which is a plastic sleeve that helps deliver the baby when extra help is needed during labor. It is compared with the standard vacuum extraction method to see if it is safe and works well.
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.
