What this Trial Is About
This clinical trial aims to find out whether stone needles therapy can effectively assist in the treatment of maternal diastasis rectus abdominis (DRA) based on the Belt channel theory, it will also validate whether the Ben-Tovim Walker body attitude questionnaire (BAQ) can be used as a tool to measure body image satisfaction in Chinese patients with postpartum DRA. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can stone needles therapy promote the recovery of maternal DRA? Whether the Chinese version of the Body attitude questionnaire (BAQ-C) can be used as a body image satisfaction measurement tool for patients with postpartum DRA. The researchers will add stone needles therapy to neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and massage therapy to see if stone needles therapy can promote the recovery of postpartum DRA.
