NCT ID NCT07199803
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how severe bleeding after childbirth (postpartum hemorrhage) affects a woman's recovery. Researchers will compare recovery scores from a 10-question survey between 152 women who had severe bleeding and those who did not. The goal is to understand the impact on physical comfort, emotional well-being, and daily function, helping improve care for new mothers.
