Effect of Epidural Hydromorphone Combined With Ropivacaine in Labor Analgesia
AnalgesiaLabor PainThe purpose of this study is to compare the effects of three different doses of hydromorphone combined with ropivacaine and sufentanil combined with ropivacaine in epidural labor analgesia through prospective clinical trials, so as to explore whether hydromorphone combined with ropivacaine has advantages in epidural labor analgesia, and find out the optimal dose of hydromorphone. Participants will be randomly allocated to four groups: H1 group,H2 group,H3 group and SF group.For those in H1 group: they will be administered with15 ug/ml hydromorphone and 0.08% ropivacaine for epidural labor analgesia, For those in H2 group: they will be administered with17.5 ug/ml hydromorphone and 0.08% ropivacaine for epidural labor analgesia, For those in H3 group: they will be administered with 20 ug/ml hydromorphone and 0.08% ropivacaine for epidural labor analgesia, For those in SF group: they will be administered with 40 ug/ml sufentanil and 0.08% ropivacaine for epidural labor analgesia. The goal of this clinical trial is to provide a new treatment option for pregnant women in epidural labor analgesia, and to provide a basis for hydromorphone combined with ropivacaine in epidural labor analgesia.

Randomized, Controlled, Double Blind, to Evaluate the Postpartum Analgesia With Epidural Morphine:...
Labor PainThis study aims to assess the analgesic effect of two different doses of epidural morphine for postpartum analgesia management. Previous studies have shown that conventional management of postpartum pain (acetaminophen, NSAIDs) is insufficient, in the investigators country is wasted using the epidural catheter is placed as part of the analgesic management of pregnant women in labor.

Pulsed Heat as a Drug-free Treatment for Pregnancy Related Pain
PainPain1 moreStudies indicate that up to 75% of women will experience pain sometime during their pregnancy. Recent recommendations by the FDA recommended that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDS) medications be avoided during pregnancy. This recommendation limits the pain medications available for use during pregnancy. Antidotal evidence suggests that the FDA cleared Soovu pulsed heat device may produce pain relief during pregnancy. This study tests the Soovu device's ability to provide pain relief during pregnancy and up to one month post-partum and may eventually offer a safe nondrug option to treat pregnancy related pain. This is an observational pilot study The primary objective and hypothesis of this study is that the use of the Soovu pain management device will produce a significant reduction of pain when comparing pre versus post treatment pain.

Epidural AnesthesiaLabor PainThe aim of this study is to compare epidural dexmedetomidine vs nalbuphine added to bupivacaine in labor analgesia and determine the privilege of one over the other and to compare the effect of both analgesics after delivery.

The Effect of Sacral Massage on Labor
Labor PainNonpharmacologic pain control methods, which are increasingly becoming widespread in coping with the labour pain, are the methods that allow women to completely relax without using any medication and direct them to perceive the pain at the lowest level. This study was conducted to determine the effect of sacral massage, on labour pain and anxiety. This study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study at Bağcılar Training and Research Hospital, Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic between March and October 2016. Hypotheses of the Study Massage applied to the sacral region decreases the perception of a woman's labour pain. Massage applied to the sacral region decreases the woman's levels of concern and anxiety about labour. Massage applied to the sacral region increases the woman's satisfaction with the labour

Trial of Music During Labor and Delivery
Labor PainThe use of music is widely supported in various areas of medicine: first of all in the psychiatric field as in the treatment of autism in children, obtaining surprising results even on Alzheimer's patients, or the unparalleled effect of music on those suffering from depression. To strengthen the thesis of the usefulness of music in medicine there is what is called PNEI, or the psychoneuroendocrinoimmunology. This discipline consists in the study of mutual interactions between mental activity, behavior, nervous system, endocrine system and immune reactivity. The PNEI itself no longer pays attention to the mind with respect to the body, but using the principles of the empirical epistemology of the scientific method strives to clarify those connections that make the nervous system, mind, immunity and hormonal regulation a unique and complex homeostatic control system of the individual, whose synergism would be able to modify certain biological behaviors, such as the transition from a distress to an eustress. This passage would seem to be of particular obstetric interest going to significantly change the course of labor in terms of pain, anxiety and well-being of women. In fact, many women prefer not to resort to partoanalgesia and famaci for pain control during labor. A recent Cochrane Review analyzed the effectiveness of music in the control of pain in labor, confirming its role in this sense. However, he concluded that the quality of available evidence varied from low to very low, thus highlighting the need for further studies in this area. Thus, the present study arises with the rational to satisfy this need for further investigation into the positive effects of music on pain in women in labor.
