Summary
This study tested whether injecting the anesthetic ropivacaine into the perineum after an episiotomy (a cut made during childbirth) reduces pain better than a placebo. 272 women who had a right-sided episiotomy during delivery took part. The goal was to see if this simple, well-tolerated treatment could improve recovery and reduce persistent pain.
