简要总结
This study was done to compare the effect of myofascial release versus deep friction massage on abdominal recovery and scar after cesarean section.
详细描述
Chronic post-C-section scar pain and discomfort affect up to 20% of women who undergo cesarean sections. This pain can lead to physical, aesthetic, psychological, and social consequences, including itching, stiffness, scar contractures, and tenderness. The myofascial release technique, a manual approach, may facilitate the healing process. Deep friction massage, used to correct structural alterations, can cause reduced mobility and viscoelasticity, potentially affecting sensory receptors and nerve fibers. This study aims to provide physiotherapists with scientific information on the effect of myofascial release on scar and abdominal recovery after cesarean section.

结局指标
主要结局
assessment of pain intensity
时间窗: at baseline and after 8 weeks
Participants will use a visual analogue scale to assess waist pain intensity before and after treatment for all groups, rating severity from zero to 10. This reliable and time-efficient method is suitable for assessing pain levels post-c Cesarean scar site.
次要结局
- Assessment of post-Cesarean-section scar recovery(at baseline and after 8 weeks)
- Assessment of pressure pain threshold(at baseline and after 8 weeks)
- Assessment of abdominal recovery(at baseline and after 8 weeks)
- Assessment of abdominal musculatures strength(at baseline and after 8 weeks)
