Efficacy of energy‐based devices on episiotomy pain and healing: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Episiotomy is a common obstetric procedure often associated with significant postpartum pain and delayed wound healing. Conventional treatments provide limited relief and might not be suitable for all women. Energy‐based therapies, including infrared irradiation and low‐level laser therapy (LLLT), a non‐thermal photo biomodulation ...
