Summary

This study tests whether a single, two-hour pain relief skills session called Empowered Relief can reduce chronic pain after a cesarean delivery. Sixty women who still have moderate to severe pain six weeks after their C-section will attend the session and be followed for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if this behavioral approach is feasible and helpful.
