Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The study hypothesis: Post-partum women who apply perineal cryotherapy have lower level of episiotomy- associated pain than those who don't apply.

Post-partum women who apply perineal cryotherapy after normal vaginal delivery with episiotomy
Apply perineal cryotherapy after normal vaginal delivery with episiotomy (interventional group)
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is one of the non-pharmacological pain-relieving techniques, which involves chilling specific body areas with ice packs, ice cubes, ice water, or ethyl chloride sprays. The present study intervention will be conducted on 50 post-partum women to assist in relieve episiotomy pain. The researchers will assess the baseline level of episiotomy pain for each woman then the researchers will instruct women to perform perineal care. After cleaning the perineum, the researchers will ask the women to maintain her knee more flexed and apply ice gel pad against the episiotomy line for about 20 minutes then remove it and keep it in the freezer for reusing and assess the level of episiotomy pain using the Numeric Rating Scale for Pain after two hours from delivery. Ice gel pad will be applied for the second time after the episiotomy.
