Group B will include 12 women and receive infrared light, an infrared lamp will be put at a distance of 45 cm from the perineum, and the heat produced with 230 volts for twenty minutes. The participant will be checked after the first five minutes to make sure that she is not being burned. This procedure will be done twice a day for 7 consecutive days.


Clinical Trial Description

One of the most often used delivery methods is the episiotomy. Severe side effects like infection, dehiscence of the incision, and perineal discomfort are possible. In addition to increased blood loss during birth, mothers who undergo episiotomy have the risk of experiencing delayed wound healing along with increased pain in the early puerperium. After birth, episiotomy treatment begins right away and would involve both pain management and local wound care. The data will be assessed on the baseline 3rd day and 7th day of treatment. A numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) will be used to assess the severity of Pain. REEDA scale will be used for Redness, Edema, Ecchymosis, Discharge, and Approximation (closeness of skin edges). SPSS version 25 will be used for analysis. ;
