Comparing ultrasound methods for C-section scar healing
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of vaginal ultrasound (regular and 3D) with or without a saline infusion (contrast) to look at the healing of your C-section scar. It may help understand if 3D or saline ultrasound gives better images of the scar area.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Women aged 20 to 45 years
- At least one previous C-section (cesarean delivery)
- Between 6 months and 10 years since your last C-section
- Not currently pregnant
- No active pelvic infection
- No large uterine fibroids that distort the womb

This study looks at how the number of cesarean sections (C-sections) a woman has had affects the healing of the scar in her uterus. It may help doctors understand if more C-sections lead to a condition called a 'niche,' which is a small pocket in the scar that can cause symptoms.
This trial tests a special ultrasound procedure (saline infusion sonohysterography) to help diagnose problems with the scar from a previous cesarean section. If you have symptoms like abnormal bleeding or trouble getting pregnant after a c-section, this imaging may help doctors understand what's happening.
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 three different ways of stitching the uterus closed after a planned c-section. The goal is to see which method helps the uterus heal best.
This study watches how a cesarean scar heals after a first-time C-section done after 26 weeks of pregnancy. It's an observational study—no treatments are tested—just careful tracking to learn more about recovery.
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.
