NCT ID NCT07401134

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a kit containing perineal ice packs, medicated witch-hazel pads, and benzocaine spray can reduce pain after vaginal surgery. Seventy women undergoing perineorrhaphy or posterior colporrhaphy will use the kit alongside standard care. The goal is to see if this simple approach improves recovery and lowers pain scores.

Active substance

Perineal ice packs, medicated witch-hazel pads, and topical benzocaine spray

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a simple, at-home pain relief option after vaginal surgery, reducing the need for stronger painkillers.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study with only 70 participants. The products may not significantly reduce pain compared to standard care, and some people may have allergies or skin irritation.
