ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of a treatment called osteopathic manipulation on women who experience chronic low back pain after having a cesarean section. Adhesions, which are bands of scar tissue that can form after surgery, may contribute to this pain. The goal of the study is to see if this hands-on therapy can help relieve discomfort and improve overall function without using any medications.

To participate in this trial, women need to be aged between 20 and 35 years, have had a cesarean section at least six months prior, and have a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or lower. Participants should not be taking any other pain medications during the study. It's important to note that women who are pregnant, have had recent abdominal surgery, or have certain serious health conditions will not be eligible. If you join the trial, you can expect to receive osteopathic treatment and be monitored for its effects on your back pain. This study is currently not recruiting participants yet, but it aims to provide insight into a drug-free option for managing post-surgery pain.
