Abstract (460 Views)
Aims: Cesarean section is one of the most common surgeries worldwide. Pain management and the acceleration of cesarean wound healing are important and necessary for the mother, baby, and breastfeeding. Herbal medicines with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects have been used in wound management and care in traditional medicine. This systematic review assessed the efficacy of herbal products used in clinical trials for cesarean wound healing.
Information & Methods: In this systematic review, keywords, including “cesarean section,” “wound healing,” “herbal medicine,” “complementary medicine,” and “alternative care” were searched in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and ProQuest databases. The Persian equivalents of these terms were searched in the SID and Magiran databases. The search was conducted with no time limit until April 2024. Studies published in Persian and English that investigated herbal products for the healing of cesarean section wounds were included in this study. The quality assessment of the articles was conducted using the CONSORT 2018 checklist. Data analysis was performed qualitatively and reported.
Findings: Among 471 articles, eight articles assessing seven plants were investigated. Most of the studied plants improved cesarean wound healing. The results of two studies on the effect of turmeric on cesarean wound healing were consistent.
Conclusion: The medicinal products prepared in all the studies are effective in cesarean wound treatment.
