Filter by:Study focuses on comparing the effects of manual scar mobilization and myofascial cupping techniques on the outcomes of pain, physical characteristics, and appearance of cesarean scars. The study aims to contribute valuable insights into tailored interventions for improving cesarean scars. The randomized clinical trial will involve 52 participants, primigravida women aged 20 to 40 with completely healed but painful cesarean scars. Excluding those with previous scar therapy or infectious scars, the participants will be divided into two groups, with Group A receiving manual scar mobilization therapy and Group B receiving myofascial cupping therapy, both administered twice a week for four weeks. Pain assessment will be conducted using a numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), while physical characteristics and appearance will be evaluated using the Manchester Scar Scale for cesarean scars (MSS). The data collected will be analyzed using SPSS version 29.
To determine the combined effects of abdominal binders and TENS on post-operative pain, distress and constipation in puerperium period after cesarean section
In Denmark, around 12,700 patients undergo Cesarean delivery (CD) annually, constituting approximately 20% of all childbirths in the country. Worldwide, the number is increasing each year, with more than 20 million CD performed annually. Postoperative pain after CD is typically moderate to severe in intensity and still constitutes a significant challenge, balancing effective pain relief and potential side effects. Correlations between moderate to severe acute pain and the development of persistent pain after CD is still unclear. Postsurgical persistent pain is a significant, often unrecognized clinical problem that causes distress and diminishes the quality of life for patients. Despite advances in understanding the factors contributing to persistent postsurgical pain and an increased focus on identifying patients at risk, the management and prevention of postsurgical persistent pain are still inadequate. It is important to gain further insights into this population, and we have a unique opportunity to do so by following the national cohort from the ongoing Danish multicenter cohort study on pain after cesarean section (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT06012747) over an extended follow-up period. This involves continued prospective registration of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROM) collected by SMS-based questionnaires in the months and years after the CD, thereby investigating the occurrence of both acute and persistent pain after CD. The outcomes are focused on pain levels, the impact of pain on physical function and neuropathic pain characteristics in the months and years following the CD. The study also aims to explore the relationship between persistent and acute pain.
This study was planned to determine the effect of emotional freedom technique (EFT) on breastfeeding success and self-efficacy in primiparous women in the early postpartum period who had a cesarean delivery.
Early oxytocin administration at the 2nd stage of labor is associated with a higher rate of vaginal delivery, shorter second stage duration, and fewer adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.
In this study, the effect of infant odor and visual stimulus program applied to mothers who had delivered by cesarean section and whose babies were taken to the NICU on cortical and breast oxygenation (rSO2), amount of breast milk and mother-infant bonding was investigated.
The SOAP registry is a prospective, multicenter, electronic registry. The goal is to investigate the indications, mode of airway management, predisposing factors, and obstetric and anesthetic outcomes of pregnant patients who receive general anesthesia for cesarean delivery.
The goal of this randomized trial is to test if changing a person's position in labor can increase the chances of delivering their baby vaginally. Specifically, it aims to answer the questions: - In fetuses who are facing upwards (occiput posterior, OP) or sideways (occiput transverse, OT) during labor, does changing the patient's position during active labor to a side-lying posture with a peanut ball increase the chances of them having a successful, spontaneous vaginal delivery? - Does changing the patient's position in active labor affect the position of the baby at the time of delivery? - Do intentional position changes in labor impact patient-perceived autonomy during their labor and delivery experience? Participants will: - Receive an ultrasound during labor to determine the position of their baby - Be asked to adopt a specific position in labor (side-lying with peanut ball) if they are randomized to the study group - Receive additional ultrasounds during labor to assess their baby's position - Fill out a questionnaire about their labor experience following the delivery of their baby
As both oxytocin and carbetocin are used daily in obstetric units all over the world, the investigators find it compelling to investigate whether the hemodynamic and myocardial effects of oxytocin and carbetocin are comparable in healthy women during delivery and determine any potential harmful effects following the use of oxytocin or Carbetocin as uterotonic. Other endpoints relating to uterus tone, blood loss, blood pressure, heart rate, post-operative pain and side effects will also be assessed.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of gum chewing vs Paula exercises in patients after cesarean delivery. The main question it aims to answer is: does the Paula method hasten the time to recovery of bowel function compared to gum chewing after cesarean delivery. Participants will be asked to either chew gum or to do Paula exercises. The time to restoration of bowel function after the surgery will be measured.
