C-Section recovery: could a simple lesson ease pain and worry?
NCT ID NCT07467304
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving women individual nursing education after a cesarean section can reduce their pain and anxiety. Eighty women who had a C-section will be randomly assigned to receive either routine care or routine care plus education. Researchers will measure anxiety and pain levels before and after the education to see if it helps.
