First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.

- 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.
