Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: The mother's unwillingness to continue studying Mother refuses to take more than one sesame capsule or placebo Impossibility to continue breastfeeding the baby (due to the death of the baby or hospitalization in the neonatal intensive care unit) Any problems that interfere with the mother's routine care (transfer of the mother to the operating room - early discharge before 24 hours - bleeding or any obstetric problems of the mother that requires treatment)
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Intensity of afterpains. Timepoint: Two hours after delivery, gelatin capsules of sesame oil or placebo are given to the mother every 6 hours, and the severity of back pain is measured one hour after each dose. Method of measurement: To measure the intensity of pain, the painometer-visual analogue scale index, which is one of the parts of the painometer tool, will be used. It will be drawn 100 mm linearly and the left side of the number zero means painless and the right side of the number 10 means maximum pain. The mother is asked to mark the intensity of her lower abdominal pain on the line at that moment. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The quality of the afterpains. Timepoint: Two hours after delivery, gelatin capsules of sesame oil or placebo are given to the mother every 6 hours, and the quality of the afterpains is measured one hour after each dose. Method of measurement: To evaluate the quality of pain, the word description scale index, which is one of the parts of the painometer tool, will be used. This index is used to evaluate the quality of pain and consists of two parts. 11 items are sensory description words and 14 physical description words of pain. The mother will complete this form every 6 hours (4 times in total) one hour after receiving each dose of medication.The mother can mark any number of words she wants and the words will be assigned scores between 1 and 5 depending on their type and intensity. The sum of the maximum scores of the physical description items of pain is 47 and the sum of the maximum scores of the items of sensory description of pain is 37. Finally, the points related to the marked words are added together and the result, which varies between 2 and 84, evaluates the score of the quality of the mother's pain. | — |
