Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pain assessed by numerical scale and observation of the need to use analgesics through prescriptions. The assessments will take place between the 6th and 12th hour after birth, the 6th hour after the first assessment and the 12th hour after the first assessment. Assessments will take place before the application of photobiomodulation (laser). Totaling three evaluations and two applications.

Totaling three evaluations and 2 applications. After 7 to 10 days after giving birth, the researcher will make a telephone call to question the woman regarding wound healing.
