Ana Flavia Araújo Litwinczuk1, Kristianne Porta Santos Fernandes1, Maria Fernanda Setúbal Destro Rodrigues1, Rebeca Boltes Cecatto1,2. 1.Biophotonics-Medicine Post-Graduate Program, Universidade Nove de Julho/ UNINOVE, 249 Av Vergueiro, Liberdade, São Paulo, SP, 01504-001, Brazil. 2.Rehabilitation Service of the Rede Lucy Montoro School of Medicine of the University of Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, 01246-903, Brazil. Introduction: Cesarean section is a surgical procedure used when vaginal birth is contraindicated or impossible. Following surgery, pelvic cutaneous wounds may exhibit complications such as pain, hemorrhage, infection, wound dehiscence, edema, and ecchymosis. Current recommendations include anti-inflammatories, analgesics, and rest. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) shows promise in treating pain and wounds of various etiologies, potentially providing supportive care post-cesarean section. Objectives: This study aims to assess the analgesic and healing effects of PBM on surgical cutaneous wounds after cesarean delivery. Methodology: A prospective randomized controlled clinical trial following the SPIRIT guideline will be conducted. Both groups (A and B) will receive standard hospital treatment for analgesia and wound healing. Group B will additionally receive PBM treatment daily during all hospitalization period using an IBRAMED 660nm laser device, 100mW, targeting the surgical wound at six points with 4J per point, by contact. The primary outcome will be pain assessed by visual numeric scale before and after PBM, daily, as well as at 5 and 10 days post-procedure. Secondary outcomes include amount of use of analgesic medications used and visual assessment of surgical wound healing on the first day post-birth, last day of hospitalization, and 10 days post-procedure. Any adverse effect will be evaluated and reported. Statistical analysis will involve Kolmogorov–Smirnov tests for normality, parametric tests for normally distributed variables, and non-parametric tests otherwise. Comparisons will be made between pre- and post-intervention measurements within and between groups, with a significance level of 5% using SPSS IBM.
