ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a treatment called electroacupoint to help women who are having trouble producing enough breast milk after giving birth by cesarean section. The study is specifically for women aged 25 to 30 who have been breastfeeding but are experiencing low milk supply within the first month after their surgery. To be eligible, participants should be using both breast and bottle feeding and should have a body mass index (BMI) that is not higher than 30, which is a measurement of body weight in relation to height.

Women who join the study can expect to receive this treatment and help researchers understand if it improves milk production. However, there are some health conditions that would prevent someone from participating, such as serious heart or lung issues, diabetes, or previous surgeries in the chest area. This trial is currently recruiting participants, so if you or someone you know is facing these challenges with breastfeeding, this could be a helpful opportunity to explore.
