Hypothesis:
Full description
A vicious impediment on quality of life including psychological and functional disability, and interference with baby care and bonding may occur among women who experience chronic post-caesarean section pain (CPCSP) .
Structural alterations of the skin and subcutaneous tissues with scarring result in reduced mobility and viscoelasticity that could cause compression of the sensory receptors and nerve fibers and disrupt their signaling. The viscoelastic properties could potentially be modified when the skin and scars are stressed and/or strained by manual therapies and this can affect the sensitivity threshold of the mechanosensitive and nociceptive receptors.
There are limited studies about the effect of various scar release techniques on chronic post cesarean section scar pain and mobility and their impact on quality of life on the affected women . So, this study will be helpful and of valuable benefits for medical services organizations and increase body of knowledge of physical therapists in scientific field.
This study will be conducted on forty women suffering from chronic post cesarean section scar pain and restricted scar mobility , they will be referred from department of Obestetrics and Gynaecology in Elmansoura International Hospital, Egypt.
