Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial uses something called Emotional Freedom Technique for new mothers who had a cesarean delivery — can you explain what EFT actually involves and whether it's safe to do in the early postpartum period?
2The trial is measuring breastfeeding success using the Bristol Breastfeeding Rating Scale — what does that scale actually measure, and would my own breastfeeding goals line up with what this study is tracking?
3Since this is a Phase NA study focused on a mind-body technique rather than a drug, what is currently known about how EFT affects breastfeeding outcomes, and is there enough evidence for you to feel comfortable with it as an approach?
4The recruitment status for this trial is listed as unknown — do you know if this study is still actively enrolling, and how would I even find out if I could be considered for it?
5If I'm a first-time mother who had a cesarean and I'm already struggling with breastfeeding confidence, would you recommend I try standard lactation support first, or is a trial like this something worth exploring at the same time?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
