Hot or cold? simple therapy tested to ease common pain after giving birth

NCT ID NCT04778631

Summary

This study tested whether applying heat or cold packs during and after vaginal childbirth could reduce common perineal pain in the days following delivery. It involved 115 first-time mothers or women without prior vaginal births across multiple hospitals. Researchers compared the effects of warm compresses during labor and cold packs immediately after birth, alone or combined, to see which best eased pain and improved recovery.
