Platelet-rich plasma for reducing pain after childbirth tears
Part of Kidney & urinary, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You had a vaginal birth with a perineal tear that is second-degree or more severe, or you had an episiotomy (a surgical cut to widen the birth opening).
- You must be able to give informed consent, meaning you understand what the study involves.
- You must not have a bleeding or clotting disorder, or be on certain blood-thinning medicines.
- You cannot have taken aspirin or clopidogrel in the 7 days before the blood draw for the treatment.

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests whether a treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma, or PRP) can help reduce urine leakage in women with stress urinary incontinence. You may be eligible if you've already tried pelvic floor exercises without enough relief and you're looking for another option.
This trial tests whether injecting a special healing fluid made from your own blood (called platelet-rich plasma, or PRP) into the epidural space during minimally invasive disc surgery helps reduce ongoing nerve-related leg pain better than surgery alone.
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 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 trial tests whether an injection of concentrated platelets from your own blood can help heal chronic tendon injuries that haven't improved with other treatments. Platelets contain natural healing factors that may reduce pain and improve function.
