Hands-On therapy may soothe Post-C-Section back pain without drugs
NCT ID NCT06907394
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether osteopathic manipulation—a hands-on, drug-free therapy—can reduce low back pain caused by scar tissue after a cesarean section. Thirty women who had a C-section at least six months prior and had low back pain were split into two groups: one received osteopathic manipulation, the other took paracetamol. The goal was to see if the manual therapy could improve pain and function without medication.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Osteopathic manipulation (myofascial release, grand maneuver, visceral manipulation)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a drug-free, non-invasive option for women with chronic low back pain after a C-section.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The control group received paracetamol, not a placebo, which limits what we can conclude.
