| Popis: | Background and Objective: Although chemical drugs are effective for postpartum pain, herbal medicines with relative safety and fewer side effects are more suitable. The aim of the present study was to compare the impact of “Ginger-Lavender” and “Mefenamic acid” capsules on postpartum pain. Methods: This triple-blind clinical trial study enrolled 94 multiparous women complaining of moderate to severe postpartum pain in Valiasr Hospital, Fasa, in 2021. They randomly divided into 2 groups (n=47): the “Ginger-Lavender” 300 mg capsules (A) and the “Mefenamic acid” 250 mg capsules (B). Measuring the pain score started 2 hours after delivery and continued every 6 hours, before and 1 hour after receiving the related drugs, until 24 hours using VAS.

Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in pain severity between the two groups (A=5.02±1.24, B=4.72±0.97).
