Shocking: C-Section scar pain study halted early!
NCT ID NCT05696301
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested if tecar therapy (a type of electrical heat treatment) could reduce pain from cesarean section scars. About 19 women with painful scars received either real tecar therapy or a fake (sham) treatment over 3 weeks, in addition to standard scar massage. The goal was to see if the therapy improved pain at 3 months after delivery. The trial was terminated early, so results are limited.
