Summary
This study tested simple, drug-free ways to help women feel less pain during episiotomy repair (stitches after childbirth). 112 women were split into four groups: one used virtual reality, one squeezed a stress ball, one did both, and one received standard care. The goal was to see which method worked best for reducing pain during the procedure.
