Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether a non-drug device called TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) can relieve the painful uterine contractions some women feel while breastfeeding shortly after giving birth. The trial involves women who have had multiple children and gave birth vaginally within the past 48 hours. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either standard pain medication or TENS during two breastfeeding sessions, and researchers compare their pain levels using a standard 0-to-10 scale.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) device
What this could lead to
If effective, TENS could offer a safe, drug-free option for managing postpartum uterine pain during breastfeeding, reducing reliance on pain medications.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, and results may not apply to all women. TENS may not provide adequate pain relief for everyone, and individual responses can vary.
