Cold therapy in the management of postoperative cesarean section pain
Abstract
Sixty-two patients were randomized to receive either localized cold therapy to the cesarean section incision or routine postoperative care. Evaluation of the amount of analgesia requested, infection rate, and length of hospital stay did not show a significant difference between the two groups. There is no objective evidence to show that the use of cold therapy in postoperative cesarean section pain relief is beneficial.
