ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how a special treatment for breast tenderness can help pregnant women during the later stages of their pregnancy. The goal is to see if this intervention can reduce breast engorgement (which is when the breasts become overly full and uncomfortable), improve breastfeeding, increase mothers' confidence in caring for their babies, and lower stress levels.

To be part of this study, women need to be healthy, over 20 years old, and at least 36 weeks pregnant. They should be able to read or communicate in Chinese or Taiwanese and agree to participate after being fully informed about the trial. Women with a history of substance abuse, certain health complications, or who are unable to breastfeed will not be included in the study. Participants can expect to receive support and care during the trial, and their experiences will help researchers learn more about the benefits of this intervention for new mothers.
