Protocol summary

Summary
Objective: to investigate the effect of amniotic membrane dressing on the pain after Caesarean section. Study design: a randomized duble blind clinical trial study. Population: 90 mothers undergoing caesarean section are enrolled in the study. Inclusion criteria: gestational age between 38 and 42 weeks, willingness to participate in the study, experiencing the first cesarean section, live and singleton pregnancy, not having any kind of previous surgery, not smoking or consuming alcohol and drugs, no history of known diseases (such as liver and kidney dysfunction, cardiovascular, respiratory, and neuromuscular diseases, diabetes, and hypertension), and undergoing general anesthesia. Exclusion criteria: the surgery last for more than 90 minutes, the patients do not cooperate in measuring and recording the pain level. Patients will be divided into two groups of 45. In the intervention group after removal of the placenta, the fetal amniotic membrane is separated from the placenta. The membrane is placed as double-layered on the sutured wound. The intended intervention is applied immediately after suturing, remaining on the wound until the removal of stitches (24 hours). In the control group, routine dressing is performed by putting dry sterile gauze on the wound. Pain severity would be measured, recorded, and compared between two groups in 4, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours after surgery by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
