This study tests a combination of abdominal exercises and a heat-based treatment (radiofrequency) to improve the gap in the abdominal muscles after pregnancy (diastasis recti). It may help women who have not tried this kind of treatment before.
This study looks at how separated belly muscles (diastasis recti) relate to the curve of the spine in women after having a baby. It may help understand if belly muscle changes affect back health.
This study compares two surgical techniques to fix a common post-pregnancy condition called diastasis recti, where the tummy muscles separate and leave a gap. If your muscle gap hasn't closed after months of targeted exercises, this trial can help find the best surgical approach for you.
This trial looks at reconstructing the abdominal wall when the abdominal muscles have separated. It may help people with abdominal instability and back or abdominal pain even after at least 6 months of structured exercise or physical therapy.
This study asks women who have a weakened or separated belly wall after pregnancy to report on their symptoms and quality of life before and after their regular treatment (including surgery). The goal is to learn how surgery affects daily life and well-being.
This study compares two types of gentle exercises to help close the gap that forms between abdominal muscles after childbirth. You'll be assigned to one exercise program and measured to see which works better.
