Overview

NCT ID: NCT07729254
Lead Sponsor: Cairo UniversityOTHER
Official Title: Association Between Cesarean Scar Mobility and Menstrual Pain Severity in Post-Cesarean Women: A Correlational Study
Brief Summary: The aim of this observational cross-sectional study is to investigate the association between cesarean scar mobility and menstrual pain severity in women following cesarean section. The study will enroll women aged 20 to 35 years with a history of cesarean delivery who experience menstrual pain. Baseline assessments will be performed to evaluate cesarean scar mobility, menstrual pain severity, pressure pain threshold, and related clinical characteristics. The findings will help clarify whether reduced cesarean scar mobility is associated with greater menstrual pain severity and may provide evidence supporting the clinical assessment of cesarean scars in women with post-cesarean menstrual pain.
