Virtual reality boosts Post-C-Section recovery, study finds
NCT ID NCT07237776
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether using virtual reality (VR) can help women recover their abdominal muscles after a cesarean section. Eighty women who had a C-section took part. The idea is that VR can create a calming, engaging environment that may reduce stress and improve recovery. Researchers measured muscle strength and checked for separation of the abdominal muscles.
