BackgroundThe appearance of striae gravidarum (SG) during pregnancy is a common problem. The most common SG are abdominal striae, which can cause the greatest sequelae after pregnancy, and in the long term. There are several solutions to prevent and treat these striae, but not all are completely effective, and not without side effects.AimsThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a treatment that applies an electromagnetic field under vacuum (V‐EMF therapy) on the abdominal SG.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 26 women affected by abdominal SG and treated with V‐EMF therapy. The results were evaluated using two different 5‐point Likert Scales: one administered to the treated subjects to evaluate their satisfaction, and one to the doctors who performed the treatment, to evaluate the improvement of the striae. The presence of side effects, and the effects of sun exposure after treatment were also considered.ResultsOnly two treated subjects rated their level of satisfaction with a Score III on the Liker Scale. Everyone else expressed higher levels of satisfaction. Only one doctor rated the improvement of the striae with a Liker scale score of III. All the others reported greater improvements. No discomfort or side effects were noted either during the individual treatment sessions, or at the end of the treatment. The striae showed a newfound ability to tan.ConclusionsV‐EMF therapy proves to be a valid, safe, and effective treatment modality for SG.

Background: Pregnancy striae, or stretch marks, are highly prevalent and often a source of cosmetic concern for many women, presenting challenges in both prevention and treatment. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of vitamin D cream on pregnancy striae in the thigh area of first-time pregnant women. Methods: This triple-blind randomized clinical trial involved 60 primigravida women, aged 18 - 20 weeks, referred to Shahid Akbarabadi Hospital in Tehran, Iran, in 2022. Using blocked randomization, participants were assigned to two groups: The vitamin D cream intervention group (30 women) and the basic cream placebo group (30 women). Each cream was applied daily for 4 months, twice daily with a 12-hour interval. The severity of striae was assessed using the Atwal Scale before the intervention and at 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks after the intervention commenced. Data analysis included descriptive statistics (frequency, minimum, maximum, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (chi-square, Fisher’s exact test, independent t-test, and Mann-Whitney test). Results: At the fourth, eighth, twelfth, and sixteenth weeks, the incidence of striae was as follows: Vitamin D group: 96.2%, 92.3%, 92.3%, and 88.5% without striae and 3.8%, 7.7%, 7.7%, and 11.5% with moderate erythema, respectively. Placebo group: 83.33%, 83.33%, 83.33%, and 66.67% without striae and 16.67%, 16.67%, 16.67%, and 33.33% with moderate erythema, respectively. No significant difference was found between the two groups regarding the severity of pregnancy striae at all follow-up times. Conclusions: Over the 4-month follow-up period, vitamin D cream did not demonstrate greater effectiveness than placebo in preventing or reducing the severity of pregnancy striae in the thigh area.
