SORE Study: Sitz Baths After Urogynecologic Reconstruction (NCT07215780)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utility of postoperative sitz baths in patient pain perception and recovery following surgical repair of prolapse. The SORE Study is a prospective, randomized controlled trial that aims to compare postoperative pain intensity one week after native tissue repair of pelvic organ prolapse for patients undergoing a sitz bath regimen versus usual care. Findings from this study may contribute to more robust, multimodal postoperative pain management plans if proven efficacious or, alternatively, reduce plastic medical waste and simplify postoperative pain plans if found to be ineffective.
