Epsom Salt Compresses to Relieve Perineal for Postpartum Care: a Clinical Trial
Sponsor: Antoine Roger
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if topical application of compresses soaked in 25% magnesium sulfate on painful perineum after birth is effective to alleviate pain. Researchers will compare this treatment to a placebo, compresses soaked in water. Participants will be invited to use their compresses if needed, for 15 minutes, up to four times a day, during their stay at the hospital after giving birth. They will also have to keep a diary of their usage and of their pain.
