Effect of Virtual Reality in Abdominal Muscle Recovery After Cesarean Section

NCT07237776 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 80

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Cesarean section is mainly performed using regional anesthesia, without preoperative sedatives, to facilitate the mother's conscious birth experience, reduce the need for neonatal resuscitation, and promote skin-to-skin contact immediately after birth between the mother and newborn. The VR can be designed to be an interacting and emotionally engaging environment that can stimulate emotionally related hormones. In stressful situations as CS, VR can generate a relaxation state that improves the surgery outcomes.

Interventions

DEVICE

Virtual reality Glasses

Virtual reality Glasses (is an advanced, standalone virtual reality (VR) headset that delivers a fully immersive experience without reliance on external hardware such as a PC, gaming console, or external tracking sensors. It utilizes an integrated inside-out tracking system that enables users to move freely within their physical environment while maintaining accurate spatial orientation. The device incorporates high-resolution displays, a high-performance processor, and ergonomically designed controllers that enhance interactivity and user engagement within virtual environments

OTHER

active abdominal exercises

Trunk flexion refers to bending the spine forward, mainly activating the rectus abdominis (the "six-pack" muscle). This movement is commonly seen in crunches or sit-ups. Straight Leg Raise (SLR) is a movement that strengthens the lower abdominal muscles and hip flexors. It involves raising the legs while keeping them straight, without bending at the knees. both exercises were done with 30 reptations (3 sessions per week for 8 weeks)
