Platelet-rich plasma for episiotomy healing after childbirth
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares a special blood treatment called platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to standard care for healing the cut made during childbirth (episiotomy). PRP uses your own blood to help the wound heal faster and with less pain.

This study tests a treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) to see if it reduces pain after childbirth when you had a perineal tear or a cut (episiotomy). If it works, it could help you recover more comfortably.
This study tests whether placing your own platelet-rich plasma (a liquid made from your blood that helps healing) into the uterus before an embryo transfer can help the uterine lining grow thicker and improve the chances of a successful pregnancy.
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 trial compares using surgical staples versus traditional stitches to repair an episiotomy (a cut made during childbirth) in women having their first vaginal birth. It aims to see which method causes less pain and helps the wound heal better.
This study tests whether a treatment made from your own platelets (platelet-rich plasma) can help the uterus heal after an elective C-section. You may be considered if you are full-term and having a planned C-section.
This study tests whether injecting a special solution made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) after fistula surgery helps the wound heal faster and better. It is for people with a simple anal fistula, which is a small tunnel that forms near the anus and is easier to treat than complex ones.
