NCT ID NCT07669285

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests whether injecting a woman's own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into an episiotomy cut right after childbirth can improve healing and reduce pain. Two hundred women will be randomly assigned to receive either PRP or standard wound care. Researchers will check wound healing and pain levels over 6 weeks to see if this simple, low-risk treatment makes a difference.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

platelet-rich plasma (PRP) made from the patient's own blood

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to help new mothers heal faster and feel less pain after an episiotomy.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with no prior strong evidence. PRP may not improve healing or pain compared to standard care, and results may not apply to all women.
