NCT ID NCT07717983
First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This trial investigates whether adding a hands-on technique called abdominopelvic fascial release to stretching exercises can reduce menstrual pain and improve scar mobility in women who have had a cesarean section. The study enrolls women aged 20 to 35 with moderate to severe period pain and restricted scar movement. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the fascial release plus stretching or stretching alone over two weeks.

- What this could lead to
- If effective, this approach could offer a non-drug option for managing menstrual pain and improving scar mobility after cesarean delivery.
