Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Effect of low intensity laser therapy for surgical incision pain relief in women submitted to cesarean section comparing 4 groups after three evaluations (at the beginning, middle and end of collection) with appraise blinded. The first evaluation performed in the puerpera who was 8 to 12 hours postpartum cesarean. The second evaluation was performed 24 hours after the first evaluation. The third evaluation was carried out.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Low intensity laser therapy with effect of improvement in the painful symptoms of the puerperas, pain threshold of the puerperas, perception of improvement of the pain after intervention.The digital algometer will be used, a scale of global perception of improvement and evaluation with the numerical scale of pain in the evalutions.
