ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of low-level laser therapy on wound healing after a cesarean section or vaginal tear. The goal is to see if using this type of laser therapy can help reduce pain and improve healing at the time of discharge and again at one and three months later. The trial is currently looking for women aged 18 and older who have had a cesarean section or a perineal tear that is classified as grade 1 to 4. Participants must be able to speak German and must provide their consent to join the study.

If you decide to participate, you will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group will receive the low-level laser therapy, while the other will not receive this treatment. Throughout the study, your pain levels and wound healing will be assessed, helping researchers understand if the laser therapy makes a difference. This is a great opportunity to contribute to medical knowledge that could benefit future patients!
