A double-blind randomised controlled trial, comparing pramoxine hydrochloride 1 per cent and hydrocortisone acetate 1 per cent in a mucoadhesive foam base, with simple aqueous foam (B.P.), in relieving episiotomy discomfort and episiotomy healing in 40 patients was carried out. Simple aqueous foam was more effective with regard to wound healing and episiotomy discomfort as measured by analgesic consumption. Pramoxine and hydrocortisone foam offers no advantage over simple aqueous foam in the treatment of post partum episiotomy discomfort.
