简要总结
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Bioptron light therapy on wound healing after caesarean section.
详细描述
Wound healing process is important after cesarean section without complication and with short period of time; caesarean section (CS) wound complications represent a substantial burden to the health system and the prevention of such complications should be a healthcare priority in developing countries.
Delayed wound healing is when a wound takes longer than normal to heal, it has many hazards such as disruption and fluid collection (hematomas and seromas), adhesions, infection (abscess) and rupture of membranes.
Management and acceleration of wound healing after cesarean section are important for maternal and newborn care and breastfeeding. Many drugs used for this purpose, especially nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opiates, have side effects including nausea, respiratory distress, gastrointestinal bleeding and itching.
Previous studies indicated using Bioptron light therapy to accelerate wound healing, it can be used as mono therapy. or as complementary therapy for wound healing and treating pain, Also, it can improve microcirculation, harmonize metabolic processes, reinforce the human defense system, stimulate regenerative processes of the entire organism, promote wound healing and relieve pain.
As a non-invasive intervention for wound healing, it enhances the whole individual's regenerative and reparative processes, promote wound healing, regulates vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). It also provides faster wound closure, enhanced wound epithelialization and greater scar tensile strength.

结局指标
主要结局
Wound surface area
时间窗: 5 days
The wound surface area (cm²) will be measured by ultrasonography using the wound length × width method. Ultrasound imaging will be performed using a 2.8-10 MHz transducer to objectively assess wound healing. A reduction in wound surface area indicates improved wound healing.
次要结局
- Wound healing (REEDA score)(5 days)
- Wound healing questionnaire (WHQ) score(5 days)
