SEARCH STRATEGY The following terms were searched cesarean section, cesarean, caesarean, abdominal deliveries, C-section, abdominal delivery, abdominal binding, binder, and abdominal binder. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with patients undergoing CD receiving an abdominal binder compared with non-users of the abdominal binder. DATA COLLECTION ANDANALYSIS:
Five electronic databases were searched until November 2019. Records were screened for eligibility. Data were extracted independently and analyzed. The main outcomes were pain and distress scores.RESULTS:
The final analysis included six RCTs. Overall effect estimate favored the abdominal binder group over the control group in the followingoutcomes:
VAS pain scores after 24 h (mean difference [MD] -1.76; 95% confidence interval [CI] -3.14 to -0.39; P = 0.01), VAS scores after 48 h (MD -1.21; 95% CI -1.51 to -0.90; P < 0.001), distress score after 24 h (MD -1.87; 95% CI -3.01 to -0.73; P = 0.001), and distress score after 48 h (MD -1.87; 95% CI -3.07 to -0.67; P = 0.002).CONCLUSION:
The abdominal binder could be an effective, simple, non-pharmacological option of relieving pain and distress after CD.Palavras-chave
