Study of Electroacupoint Stimulation and Postnatal Care to Improve Low Milk Supply in Women After Cesarean Section Aged 25 to 30

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating the effect of electroacupoint stimulation on scanty milk production in lactating women aged 25 to 30 years who have experienced insufficient milk supply after cesarean section. The study aims to find safe and effective ways to increase milk production without causing adverse effects to mother or child, addressing common concerns linked to medications like domperidone which may cause side effects such as dry mouth and headache. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups one receives electroacupoint stimulation using the Chattanooga intellect transport 2-channel electrotherapy stimulation unit combined with a balanced postnatal care diet including domperidone, iron, and folic acid supplements the other group receives the postnatal care diet alone. Electroacupoint stimulation is a noninvasive, needleless procedure targeting acupuncture points to influence energy flow and promote balance. During the three-month study period, researchers will monitor changes in baby weight, serum prolactin levels, and milk flow from baseline measurements. Participants adherence to the intervention and postnatal care will be tracked, and safety will be observed. The study will evaluate whether electroacupoint stimulation combined with nutritional support can improve lactation outcomes compared to diet alone.
