Outline of Final Research Achievements

First, we examined whether lactation facilitated relief of cesarean section-induced postoperative pain. Second, we examined whether plasma concentrations of oxytocin were involved in relief of cesarean section-induced postoperative pain. We found that lactation facilitated relief of cesarean section-induced postoperative pain including areas of secondary hyperalgesia. However, plasma concentrations of oxytocin showed no positive correlation with areas of secondary hyperalgesia. Since these results were not consistent with the results showing that lactation facilitated relief of cesarean section-induced postoperative pain, we changed the measurement of plasma concentrations of oxytocin to measurement of saliva concentrations of oxytocin. However, we were not able to obtain stable results for measurements of oxytocin concentrations and thus the results of our study were more limited than the initial plan.
