Video Education for Episiotomy Care
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a video about episiotomy care (a cut made during birth) helps new mothers heal better. If you had a low-risk pregnancy and a single, live, vaginal birth with an episiotomy, you might be able to join.

This trial tests two numbing medicines (lidocaine and bupivacaine) to see which works better for pain after a cut (episiotomy) during childbirth. If you are having your first baby and deliver vaginally with an episiotomy, you may be able to join and receive a local injection for pain relief.
This study tests whether watching videos before class (called flipped learning) helps midwifery students learn about episiotomy—a small surgical cut sometimes made during childbirth. The goal is to see if this teaching method improves learning and confidence.
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 tests three non-drug methods—breastfeeding, virtual reality, and squeezing a stress ball—to see which best helps reduce pain, anxiety, and stress during episiotomy stitching after childbirth. It may help first-time mothers feel more comfortable during the repair.
This study tests whether starting physiotherapy early after a childbirth-related cut (episiotomy) can help with pain, pelvic floor function, sexual health, and overall quality of life.
This trial tests if training based on behavioral science can help healthcare workers reduce the number of episiotomies (a cut made during delivery) they perform. It aims to make childbirth safer and less invasive.
