Fascial release for menstrual pain after C-section
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle hands-on therapy called abdominopelvic fascial release to see if it can reduce menstrual pain and improve scar movement in women who have had a C-section. If you have painful periods after your C-section and your scar feels tight, this treatment may help.

This study tests whether a small skin electrical nerve stimulator (called TENS) can reduce pain after a planned or not-urgent C-section. You may be more likely to have less pain and use fewer pain medicines if the TENS helps you.
This study tests whether physiotherapy (physical therapy exercises and techniques) can reduce period pain and improve pelvic health. If you have painful periods, this trial may help you learn non-medication approaches to feel better.
