Summary

This study looked at whether photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy, a type of light treatment, can reduce pain and improve healing for women who had perineal tears or cuts during vaginal birth. 183 women were offered PBM in addition to standard care. Researchers compared pain scores and healing in those who accepted PBM versus those who declined. The goal was to see if adding light therapy helps more than standard treatments alone.

Who is studied

Patients undergoing episiotomy or patients who presented grade 2 or 3 perineal laceration during vaginal childbirth. The diagnosis of the degree of laceration is clinical and the obstetrician responsible for the patient's care treatment did so by exploring the injury and visualizing the injured structures within the hospital's care routine. Only those patients in whom the diagnosis of grade 2 or 3 perineal laceration made by the responsible care team and documented in the medical record were invited to participate in the study.
