Study Summary

To compare scar infiltration with 0.5-1% Lidocaine at a dose of 3 mg/kg (max dose 300 mg) or scar deactivation with acupuncture surface release technique to determine which is more effective in reducing pain in adult patients with chronic, post-surgical pain related to the site of incision after low transverse Cesarean section compared to standard of care physical therapy with the McKenzie Method.

Primary Outcome

The DVPRS consists of an 11-point numerical rating scale with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating severe pain. It has been confirmed for reliability and validity in measuring both acute and chronic pain, and is currently the standard for pain measurement throughout DoD and VHA health systems. The DVPRS has demonstrated linear scale qualities allowing parametric methods to be used. The goal for pain reductions will be 50% as a primary outcome.
