Study Summary
This trial is testing whether an abdominal binder can help manage pain for postpartum patients after vaginal delivery, reducing the need for pain medication.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for pregnant individuals over 18 expecting to deliver vaginally and admitted to labor and delivery. They must understand English well enough for informed consent. It's not for those with a history of cesarean trials, chronic pain, opiate use at admission, narcotic addiction treatment or insufficient English skills.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if wearing an abdominal binder after vaginal birth can reduce pain without drugs. Participants will be split into two groups: one receives standard care; the other gets standard care plus an abdominal binder. Their pain levels and medication use are tracked.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves a non-pharmacologic approach (abdominal binder), side effects may include discomfort or skin irritation from the binder itself rather than drug-related side effects.
