Active clinical trials for "Labor Pain"

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of labor dance and music used during the active phase of labor on labor pain and fear of childbirth. The study was designed as a single-blind randomized controlled intervention trial. The participants included in sample are taken into 3 groups (totally 93 participants). A total of 93 individuals, 31 of whom were in the dance group (D), 30 in the music group (M), and 32 in the control group (C), were included in the survey. Data were collected between 15 February 2018 and 15 June 2018 by means of a Personal Information Form, the Labor Monitoring Form, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and version A of the Wijma Delivery Expectancy Questionnaire (W-DEQA).

The primary objective of the study is to assess the feasibility of a walking epidural protocol in our center. This study will provide a small data set for a larger prospective randomized controlled study. Hypothesis: Walking a minimum of 15 minutes per hour will decrease the incidence of instrumental deliveries (forceps and vacuum) in women presenting in spontaneous or induced labor with neuraxial analgesia. Before testing this hypothesis in a randomized controlled study, the feasibility of this protocol needs to be assessed since allowing laboring women to ambulate while receiving neuraxial analgesia is not the standard-of-care at our institution.

Objective: To determine the effect that focusing attention on the plant, Maryam's Flower, has on pregnant women's perception of pain, level of comfort and labor satisfaction during the first phase of labor. Method: This randomized controlled experimental study was conducted with an intervention group (n=61) and control group (n=63) involving primipara pregnant women who were at 1 cm cervical dilatation. The pregnant women in the intervention group were asked to focus their attention on Maryam's flower opening its leaf buds and imagine the labor's progress during the course of their labor. The control group only received standard midwifery care. Each group was administered the VAS at specific times (at 4-5 cm, 6-7 cm, and 8-9 cm cervical dilatation) to determine their level of labor pain. The Childbirth Comfort Questionnaire (CCQ) was also administered when the women were at 4-5 cm and 8-9 cm cervical dilatation to determine their level of birth comfort. The duration of labor was monitored using a partograph form. Finally, the Birth Satisfaction Scale was applied to determine the women's satisfaction with the labor in the 2nd hour of the postpartum period.

This is a pilot feasibility and acceptability study of a randomized clinical trial of pregnant women at 36 weeks of gestation and greater randomized to one of two arms at Yale New Haven Hospital: (1) Breast stimulation by hand or with an electronic breast pump (intervention) compared to (2) Exogenous oxytocin intravenous infusion (current standard of care, control). The pilot study will be randomized since one of the goals is to evaluate whether the idea of randomization would be acceptable to patients.

A randomized clinical trial will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of using the Swiss Ball as a resource that reduces the length of labor time. The study will be conducted in the Low Risk Labor and Delivery sector of (Instituto Materno Infantil Professor Fernando Figueira) IMIP, which has a team of obstetric nurses, medical coordination and physical therapy support. The study population will be composed of low risk parturients admitted to the sector. Parturients who meet the inclusion criteria after signing the Informed Consent Form will be allocated into two groups: Group A (experimental) and Group B (control). Group A will be encouraged to use the Swiss Ball through pelvic movements, and Group B will go through the usual routine. Study results will be evaluated by assistants during labor and immediately after delivery.

This research was conducted in accordance with the experimental research design to determine the effect of acupuncture and massage, which are non-pharmacological methods used in the treatment of labor pain, on the latent, active and transition stages of the first stage of labor. On labor pain and birth satisfaction. Burhan Nalbantoğlu State Hospital and Near East Hospital. There are three groups in the research sample: acupuncture, massage and control groups. A total of 66 people were reached, 22 people in each group. Massage and acupuncture were applied to the intervention groups, while pregnant women in the control group were not intervened other than routine hospital practices. Cervical dilatation was applied for 3-4, 5-7 and 8-10 cm, and massage was applied for 10 minutes each, for a total of 30 minutes. When cervical dilatation was 3-4, 5-7 and 8-10 cm, acupressure was applied for 1 minute each. The pain level perceived by the pregnant woman was evaluated with the Visual Comparison Scale (VAS), and her satisfaction with the birth was evaluated with the Birth Satisfaction Scale (DME). In comparing the Birth Satisfaction Scale scores and Postpartum Pain VAS Scores, the normal distribution of the data was examined with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Shapiro-Wilk test and skewness-kurtosis values and it was determined that it showed a normal distribution, ANOVA was applied. Tukey test was used in further analysis for comparisons. ANCOVA was applied to compare the amount of pain changes at the beginning and end of the latent, active and transition phases according to participant groups.

The goal of this study was to compare the effects of ice massage and virtual reality animation on labor pain, duration, and satisfaction with delivery. The main questions aims to answer are: H1 There are differences between Ice massage group and/or virtual reality animation groups and the control group in women's' labor pain. H2 There are differences between Ice massage group and/or virtual reality animation groups and the control group in women's' labor duration. H3 There are differences between Ice massage group and/or virtual reality animation groups and the control group in women's' satisfaction. This randomized controlled trial (n = 94) includes three arms. Two intervention groups (ice massage (IMG); virtual reality animation (VRA)) and one control group, (CG). Personal information form, and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Birth Satisfaction Scale will used to collect data. Frequency and percentage calculations, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis test, chi-square test, Tukey's honestly significant difference test, and will used for data analysis.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of using the birth ball and squatting position during labor on labor pain, duration of labor and satisfaction. The research is a randomized controlled experimental study. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 159 pregnant women, 53 in the birthing ball application group, 53 in the squatting group, and 53 in the control group, who met the criteria for inclusion in the study.

Birth pain is the most severe painful experience faced by primiparous people. Massage and music therapy reduce tension in the muscles and reduce the feeling of pain. Massage and music therapy will be applied to pregnant women. No intervention will be made to a group of pregnant women. Numerical Pain Assessment, Post Traumatic Development Scale and Birth Comfort Scale will be used in the research.

H0: There is no difference between birth satisfaction and pain levels of pregnant women who used and did not use a birth ball during labor. H1: There is a difference between birth satisfaction and pain levels of pregnant women who used and did not use a birth ball during the birth process.
