This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether aromatherapy using rose oil and gentle back massage can help women feel better after cesarean delivery. Researchers want to see if these natural, non-medication approaches can reduce pain and anxiety and improve comfort during the first few days after surgery. The study will compare women who receive aromatherapy inhalation, aromatherapy-assisted massage, or a placebo treatment.
After cesarean delivery, many women experience pain, anxiety, and discomfort that can make recovery harder. While pain medications are commonly used, doctors and patients are increasingly interested in gentle, natural approaches to complement standard care and help women heal better.
If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to receive one of three treatments: aromatherapy inhalation, aromatherapy-assisted back massage, or a placebo treatment. Your assigned treatment will begin 6 hours after your cesarean delivery and will be given four times over the next 36 hours (at 6, 18, 30, and 42 hours after surgery). Before and after each treatment session, you will answer brief questions about your pain, anxiety, and comfort level.
