Dunmez F, Yilmaz T. The effect of using birth ball and squatting position during labor on pain, duration, and satisfaction: A randomized controlled trial. Jpn J Nurs Sci 2024; 21:e12580. [PMID: 38073180 DOI: 10.1111/jjns.12580] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2023] [Revised: 10/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
AIM The aim of this study is to assess the effect of using a birth ball and squatting position during labor on labor pain, duration of labor, and satisfaction. METHODS This study is a randomized controlled experimental trial. It was conducted in the delivery unit of Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital. The study sample consisted of a total of 159 women, 53 in the birth ball application room, 53 in the squatting position group, and 53 in the control group. The "Information Form," "Visual Analog Scale," "Partograph," and "Maternal Satisfaction Assessment at Delivery Scale-Normal Birth" were used in the data collection. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance, Pearson's Chi-square test, Pillai's trace test. RESULTS The present study revealed that the pain perception level was lower in the birth ball and squatting position groups compared to the control group, and there was a statistically significant difference between them (p < .05). The duration of the first and second stages of labor and the total duration of labor decreased in the birth ball and squatting position groups (p < .05). The difference was statistically significant in comparing the level of satisfaction (p < .05). It was found that the highest satisfaction was in the birth ball group. CONCLUSION Using a birth ball and squatting position during labor are effective methods of reducing labor pain, shortening the duration of labor, and increasing the level of satisfaction. There is a need for more studies on the effects of the birth ball and squatting position. CLINICALTRIALS gov Identifier: NCT05360823.

[PMID: 38092653 DOI: 10.1016/j.wombi.2023.11.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Revised: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Admission in the latent phase of labour is associated with higher rates of obstetric intervention. Women are frequently admitted due to pain. This study aimed to determine whether using a birth ball at home in the latent phase of labour reduces pain perception on admission. METHOD A prospective, pragmatic randomised controlled trial of 294 low risk pregnant women aged 18 and over planning a hospital birth. An animated educational video was offered at 36 weeks' gestation along with a birth ball. The primary outcome was pain on a Visual Analogue Scale on admission in labour. Participants who experienced a spontaneous labour were invited to respond to an online questionnaire 6 weeks' postpartum. RESULTS There were no differences in the mean pain scores; (6.3 versus 6.5; 90%CI -0.72 to 0.37 p = 0.6) or mean cervical dilatation on admission (4.7 cm versus 5.0 cm; 95% CI -1.1 to 0.5 p = 0.58). More Intervention participants were admitted in active labour (63.6% versus 55.7%; p = 0.28) and experienced an unassisted vaginal birth (70.3% v. 65.8%; p = 0.07) with fewer intrapartum caesarean sections (7.5% v. 17.9%; p = 0.07) although the trial was not powered to detect these differences in secondary outcomes. Most participants found the birth ball helpful (89.2%) and would use it in a future labour (92.5%). CONCLUSION Using the birth ball at home in the latent phase is a safe and acceptable strategy for labouring women to manage their labour, potentially postpone admission and reduce caesarean section. Further research is warranted.

Abstract
Beta-endorphin is secreted from the hypothalamus and pituitary in both mother and newborn. The placenta produces numerous pituitary hormones from the third month of pregnancy, one of which is βE. It has been suggested that βE has a role in the appetitive and precopulatory phase of sexual behavior in animals. An increase in endorphin levels during sexual activity in humans may contribute to attachment and bonding between partners, but contradictory reports in the literature question the association between sexuality and βE levels. The level of βE also increases during pregnancy, rises in early labor, peaks in late labor, and drops in the postpartum period. This fluctuation provides natural analgesia, raises the pain threshold, decreases the sensation of pain, or suppresses pain, and decreases fear levels during labor and birth. Beta-endorphin also protects the fetus from hypoxia during labor and birth and potential neural damage by aiding blood flow to the brain under hypoxic conditions. It has been suggested that a variety of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic complementary therapies, when used in pregnancy, labor, and birth, activate the opioid receptors in the CNS and alter the sensation of pain during labor and birth, affect the mother-child attachment and affect sexual function. These studies report contradictory results that will be discussed in this chapter.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Every woman has the right to respectful and empathetic care during childbirth that addresses her needs for pain management, and allows her the liberty to make it a memorable experience. This study aimed to assess the effect of birthing ball exercises on labor pain and labor outcome among primigravidae parturients at a tertiary care hospital. METHOD A quasi-experimental design was used. A total of 60 primigravidae with 30 each in the control and experiment groups were selected by consecutive sampling. Primigravidae in the experiment group underwent two sessions of 20 minutes of birthing ball exercises at a subsequent gap of one hour during their active phase of labor (>4 cm cervical dilation). Primigravidae in the control group received routine standard care that included continuous observation and monitoring of vital signs and progress of labor. The visual analog scale (VAS) score was assessed in the transition phase (cervical dilation 8 cm to 10cm) and labor outcomes were assessed after delivery in both groups. RESULT The experiment group had significantly better labor outcomes in terms of labor pain, cervical dilatation, and duration of labor compared to the primigravidae in the control group (p<0.05). In addition, the majority of mothers in the experiment group (86.7 %) underwent vaginal delivery with episiotomy compared to the control group (53.3%). Findings also revealed a statistically significant difference in the newborns of both groups regarding appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration (APGAR) score, crying immediately after birth, and admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at p<0.05. CONCLUSION There are a variety of discomforts that a woman experiences during labor. Reducing these discomforts is an important part of good nursing care. Non-pharmacologic methods like birthing ball exercises help decrease these discomforts by reducing labor pain and improving maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Promoting behavioral strategies to better regulate pain and decrease the use of prescription pain medications immediately after childbirth is an attractive approach to reduce risks for adverse outcomes associated with the maternal mortality crisis. This study aimed to understand women's beliefs and experiences about pain management to identify important insights for promoting behavioral strategies to control postpartum pain. METHODS N = 32 postpartum women participated in a semi-structured interview about beliefs/experiences with managing postpartum pain. Higher- and lower-order themes were coded; descriptive statistics were used to summarize results. RESULTS Major trends emerging from the data were: (1) most women used a combination of medications (e.g., oxycodone and acetaminophen) and behavioral strategies (e.g., physical activity) in the hospital (94 %) and at discharge (83 %); (2) some women reported disadvantages like negative side effects of medications and fatigue from physical activity; and (3) some women reported they would have preferred to receive more evidence-based education on behavioral strategies during prenatal visits. CONCLUSION Our findings showed that most women were prescribed medications while in the hospital and at discharge, and used non-prescription, behavioral strategies. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS Future research is needed to test behavioral strategies in randomized clinical trials and clinical care settings to identify impact on reducing adverse maternal health outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonpharmacological labor pain management methods (NPLPMM) are noninvasive, low-cost practices that may play a role in reducing the rates of unnecessary cesarean birth. We aimed to evaluate whether the NPLPMM is associated with the mode of birth. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study with clinical records of all women admitted for birth from January 2013 to December 2017. Records of women who had spontaneous labor or received induction or augmentation of labor during hospitalization were eligible for the study. We estimated the risk ratios for cesarean birth in general linear models using the Poisson regression with adjustments for the following variables: age, ethnicity, schooling, parity, gestational age, previous cesarean birth, spontaneous labor before admission, or induction/augmentation of labor. RESULTS Within the total of 3,391 medical records, 40.1% had the use of a nonpharmacological labor pain management method registered. Cesarean rate among the study population was 44.2%. The use of NPLPMM decreased the risk of cesarean birth by 78% (OR = 0.22; 95% CI 0.19-0.26). History of a previous cesarean birth (RR = 2.63; 95% CI 2.35-2.64), the lack of use of NPLPMM (RR = 2.46; 95% CI 2.22-2.72), and primiparity (RR = 2.09; 95% CI 1.86-2.34) were the strongest risk factors for cesarean birth in the cohort. DISCUSSION The use of NPLPMM may be an effective strategy to reduce unnecessary cesarean birth. Further studies to identify the efficacy of each method may help health professionals to offer more appropriate methods at different stages of labor.

Abstract
This study aimed to identify whether listening to the recitation of the Surah Al-Inshirah (94th Chapter of the Holy Qur'an) during labor had any effect on women's pain, anxiety and comfort levels. Designed as a randomized controlled trial, the study was performed with the participation of 126 pregnant Muslim women. The study showed that listening to the recitation of the Surah Al-Inshirah during labor had positive effects on the women's pain, anxiety and comfort levels. In this respect, it is recommended that based on individuals' religious beliefs, spiritual elements such as surahs, prayers and hymns be integrated into the midwifery care offered during labor.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Midwives are ideally placed to promote physiological birth and improve women's birth experiences. Freedom of movement in labor is highly recommended as it reduces a need for obstetric interventions in labor and prevents and corrects labor complications, such as poor progress and malposition of the fetus. The Labour Hopscotch Framework (LHF) provides women and midwives with a visual depiction of the steps they can undertake to remain active and, in this way, support physiological birth processes. The objective of this study was to explore midwives' experiences of supporting women during labor with the Labour Hopscotch Framework and identify any improvements necessary to the Labour Hopscotch Framework. METHODS A two phased mixed-method sequential explanatory design study consisting of a survey (women, n=809 and partners, n=759) and focus group (n=8 midwives) was completed to evaluate the LHF following its implementation. This article presents the findings reporting midwives' perceptions of using the Labour Hopscotch Framework with women and their birthing partners. The setting was a large urban teaching maternity hospital in Dublin, Ireland, where eight midwives practiced in the following areas: labor suite, antenatal unit, and community midwifery. RESULTS The Labour Hopscotch Framework was described as beneficial in promoting physiological birth, using a creative, attractive visual depiction to guide women in, and before, labor. The Labour Hopscotch Framework was deemed helpful in increasing midwifery students and newly qualified midwives' confidence to provide women with tangible, supportive assistance during labor and increased partners' involvement in the labor process. CONCLUSIONS Labour Hopscotch Framework should be more widely promoted to all women attending the hospital for maternity care and a clear explanation of each step given and demonstrated to increase women's understanding of the steps within. Labour Hopscotch training should be included in midwifery education programs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify non-pharmacological therapies applied during pregnancy and labor. METHOD Integrative review conducted in the databases: PubMed, ScieLO and PEDro, searching for articles from 2008 in English, Spanish and Portuguese. The descriptors used were: pregnancy, childbirth, physiotherapy, alternative and complementary medicine, alternative therapy, non-pharmacological therapy, biomechanical therapy. RESULTS Forty-one articles were analyzed and subdivided into ten categories of nonpharmacological therapies: massage, perineal massage, hot bath, supportive care, childbirth preparation group, breathing techniques, pelvic floor exercises, transcutaneous electrostimulation, Swiss ball and spontaneous pushing. Six articles (60%) showed a positive outcome for reduction of pain in labor and all of them had a positive outcome for different variables of labor, such as reduction of time, anxiety and pelvic floor laceration rates. CONCLUSION The use of non-pharmacological therapies was efficient to reduce the effects of labor and childbirth, such as pain, duration of labor, anxiety, laceration and episiotomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Multiple factors are thought to affect a woman's sensation of pain during the process of labor. Birthing balls are round exercise balls upon which a woman sits during labor and performs different movements such as rocking back and forth and pelvic rotation. Midwives and nurses have been using birthing balls (also known as Swiss balls) to increase maternal comfort, widen the pelvic outlet, and facilitate progression of labor for women laboring without an epidural. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials is to assess whether the use of the birthing ball in labor decreases maternal pain during labor. DATA SOURCES Research was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, ClinicalTrial.gov, OVID and Cochrane Library as electronic databases. Randomized controlled trials were identified using the following search strategy: "birthing ball" OR "birth ball" OR "swiss ball" OR "exercise ball" AND labor from the inception of each database to June 2019. No restrictions for language or geographic location were applied. STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Selection criteria included randomized trials of pregnant women with a singleton, cephalic fetus who were randomized to either birthing ball or control group (i.e. no birthing ball) for use in labor. STUDY APPRAISAL AND SYNTHESIS METHODS Seven trials with 533 pregnant women were included. 287 (53.8%) were randomized to the intervention group (birthing ball) and 246 (46.2%) were randomized to the control group (no birthing ball). All analyses were done using an intention-to-treat approach, evaluating women according to the treatment group to which they were randomly allocated in the original trials. The primary outcome was labor pain in the first stage of labor. The summary measures were reported as summary relative risk (RR) or as summary mean difference (MD) with 95% of confidence interval (CI) using the random-effects model of DerSimonian and Laird. RESULTS Labor pain significantly decreased by 1.70 points in the birthing ball group compared to the control group (MD -1.70 points; 95% CI -2.20 to -1.20). Use of the birthing ball versus no birthing ball did not result in a significant difference in incidence of spontaneous vaginal delivery, operative vaginal delivery, cesarean delivery, or perineal lacerations. CONCLUSION The birthing ball is an effective method of pain reduction during labor for women laboring without an epidural.

Massage and heat application on labor pain and comfort: A quasi-randomized controlled experimental study. Explore (NY) 2020; 17:438-445. [PMID: 32828687 DOI: 10.1016/j.explore.2020.08.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2020] [Revised: 08/04/2020] [Accepted: 08/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to determine the effects of sacral massage and heat application on the perceptions of labor pain and comfort level in pregnant women. METHODS This was a quasi-randomized controlled experimental study. The data were collected under three groups in 2016: the heat application group (HAG), the massage group (MG), and the control group (CG). Each group included 30 primiparous pregnant women (range of age: 17-35) whose cervix was dilated to 4-5 cm. At 4-5 cm, 6-7 cm, and 8-9 cm cervical dilation, sacral massage was applied to MG, and sacral heat application was applied to HAG. Each group received standard midwifery care during labor. The data were collected using the Childbirth Comfort Questionnaire (CCQ) and the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). The data were analyzed by using the Chi-square test, the Friedman test, Paired sample t-test, ANOVA, the Kruskal-Wallis test, and Wilcoxon signed-ranks test RESULTS: The mean pain score in HAG (4.56±0.67) during 4-5 cm of cervical dilation was significantly lower than those in MG (5.03±1.06) or CG (5.23±0.72) (p < 0.05). The mean pain scores in HAG (6.80±0.7) and MG (7.30±0.8) during 6-7 cm of cervical dilation were significantly lower than that in CG (7.70±0.5) (p < 0.001). Moreover, a statistically significant difference was found between the mean CCQ total scores (HAG: 31.06±3.46, CG: 27.66±3.85, p < 0.05), mean CCQ physical comfort scores (HAG: 13.16±1.89, CG: 11.03±1.80, p < 0.001), mean CCQ relief comfort level score (HAG: 11.23±1.43, CG: 10.00±2.01, p < 0.05) and mean CCQ transcendence comfort level scores (HAG: 19.83±2.37, CG: 17.66±2.15, p < 0.05) and both HAG and CG during 8-9 cm of cervical dilation. CONCLUSIONS Heat application and massage can be used as a safe and effective midwifery intervention to reduce the perception of pain in pregnant women and provide comfort during labor.

Ogle T, Alexander K, Miaskowski C, Yates P. Systematic review of the effectiveness of self-initiated interventions to decrease pain and sensory disturbances associated with peripheral neuropathy. J Cancer Surviv 2020; 14:444-463. [PMID: 32080785 PMCID: PMC7360651 DOI: 10.1007/s11764-020-00861-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2019] [Accepted: 01/29/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE A small number of studies report that patients with peripheral neuropathy (PN) who engage in activities that promote a sense of personal well-being and provide physical, emotional, or spiritual comfort have a better quality of life and higher levels of adjustment to the changes generated by their illness and accompanying symptoms. This systematic review sought to evaluate the effectiveness of self-management activities that patients with PN initiate themselves to relieve PN symptoms and improve quality of life. METHODS Search terms were limited to include self-management activities initiated by patients (i.e., activities with no or minimal involvement from clinicians) that aim to provide relief of PN symptoms. Outcomes included in searches were pain, numbness, and tingling, associated with PN and quality of life. RESULTS The database searches identified 2979 records, of which 1620 were duplicates. A total of 1322 papers were excluded on the basis of screening the abstract. An additional 21 full text articles were excluded because they did not meet the eligibility criteria. A total of 16 papers were included in the review. CONCLUSION This review identified that a number of self-management strategies that were initiated by patients, including heat, exercise, meditation, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy, may reduce self-reported PN symptoms. As the available studies were of low quality, these strategies warrant further investigation with more homogeneous samples, using more rigorously designed trials and larger samples. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS Patients experiencing PN may find a range of self-initiated strategies beneficial in reducing PN symptoms and improving quality of life. However, because of the low quality of the available studies, clinicians need to monitor patients' responses to determine the effectiveness of these interventions as adjuncts to clinician-initiated interventions.

Abstract
Resumo Objetivo Identificar na literatura nacional e internacional, estudos sobre a eficácia de métodos não farmacológicos na redução da dor do parto. Métodos Revisão integrativa realizada nas bases de dados MEDLINE/PUBMED, SCOPUS, CINAHL, LILACS e BDENF, com recorte temporal entre os anos de 2013 a 2018, em português, inglês e espanhol. Utilizado a metodologia PICo para construir a pergunta de pesquisa e selecionar descritores controlados e não controlados, que foram combinados com os operadores booleanos “AND”, “OR” e “NOT”. Resultados Foram selecionados 19 artigos. Dentre os métodos não farmacológicos encontrados, destacam-se: a acupuntura e suas principais variações (acupressão e auriculoterapia) (29,17%), hidroterapia (25%), exercícios perineais com a bola suíça (16,67%), terapias térmicas (8,33%) e os demais métodos (20,83%). Conclusão A acupuntura e a acupressão agem tanto sobre aspectos fisiológicos da dor como sobre sua subjetividade. O banho quente de aspersão, a musicoterapia, a aromaterapia e as técnicas de respiração promovem o relaxamento e a diminuição dos níveis de ansiedade. As terapias térmicas contribuem para a analgesia local de regiões afetadas pela dor. Os exercícios na bola suíça são importantes para reduzir a dor e adotar a posição vertical, importante na progressão do trabalho de parto.

[PMID: 30902579 DOI: 10.1016/j.enfcli.2019.02.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2018] [Revised: 01/29/2019] [Accepted: 02/10/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effects on maternal satisfaction of the use of the birthing ball as a method of pain relief compared to the subcutaneous administration of pethidine (50mg) and haloperidol (2.5mg), during the latent phase of labour. METHOD Randomised, unicentric, parallel and controlled clinical trial. PARTICIPANTS Low-risk pregnant women hospitalised in a pathological pregnancy ward at the Gregorio Marañón University General Hospital (Madrid) due to prolonged pregnancy, premature rupture of membranes, or labour prodromes. INTERVENTION once the patient's labour had become painful, a series of pre-established movements were implemented with a birthing ball in the intervention group, or pethidine and haloperidol were administered at the same dose subcutaneously. After the intervention and on the post-natal ward, satisfaction was measured with the Mackey Satisfaction Childbirth scale, validated in Spanish in 2016, in the first 48-72hours after delivery. ANALYSIS group comparisons: Student's t for continuous variables and Chi-squared for categorical variables. Significance at p<0.05. RESULTS The maternal satisfaction was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the comparison group, in all the domains of the scale: obstetrician (4.24/3.87), dilatation (4.02/3.35), second stage (4.27/3.67), newborn (4.72/4.43), accompaniment and comfort (4.78/4.44). There were, however, no statistically significant differences in the midwife subscale, although the scores were equally high (4.65/4.45). CONCLUSION Using birthing balls during the latent phase of labour increases women's satisfaction with their labour process more than administering pethidine and haloperidol during this period.

Abstract
Objetivo: identificar a prática de métodos não farmacológicos implementadas para o alívio da dor de parto em um hospital de ensino, os motivos que levaram a utilizá-los e o grau de satisfação.Materiais e métodos: estudo transversal, desenvolvido com 586 puérperas em um hospital de ensino do Brasil. A coleta de dados ocorreu entre fevereiro e setembro de 2016, tendo como fonte os registros dos prontuários, a carteira de pré-natal e um questionário estruturado aplicado 12 horas após o parto. Procedeu-se a uma análise descritiva por meio do SPSS, versão 18.Resultados: os métodos não farmacológicos mais conhecidos pelas mulheres foram banho (83,1 %) e deambulação (81,4 %). No hospital universitário, 55,5 % receberam orientação/informação sobre os métodos e o mais aceito foi o banho (66,6 %). O motivo mais relatado foi diminuição da intensidade/alívio da dor (71,8 %); 89,4 % consideram que a prática deste método lhes trouxe benefícios; para 79,9 %, o grau de satisfação foi maior ou igual a sete.Conclusão: o uso de métodos não farmacológicos é uma prática eficiente para o alívio da dor de parto. É importante empoderar e informar as parturientes quanto às estratégias disponíveis para o alívio da dor durante o trabalho de parto para que possam, nesse momento e em conjunto com os profissionais de saúde, escolher o melhor método.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many women would like to avoid pharmacological or invasive methods of pain management in labour and this may contribute to the popularity of complementary methods of pain management. This review examined currently available evidence on the use of relaxation therapies for pain management in labour. This is an update of a review first published in 2011. OBJECTIVES To examine the effects of mind-body relaxation techniques for pain management in labour on maternal and neonatal well-being during and after labour. SEARCH METHODS We searched Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth's Trials Register (9 May 2017), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library, Issue 5 2017), MEDLINE (1966 to 24 May 2017), CINAHL (1980 to 24 May 2017), the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (18 May 2017), ClinicalTrials.gov (18 May 2017), the ISRCTN Register (18 May 2017), the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) (18 May 2017), and reference lists of retrieved studies. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials (including quasi randomised and cluster trials) comparing relaxation methods with standard care, no treatment, other non-pharmacological forms of pain management in labour or placebo. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently assessed trials for inclusion and risk of bias, extracted data and checked them for accuracy. We attempted to contact study authors for additional information. We assessed evidence quality with GRADE methodology. MAIN RESULTS This review update includes 19 studies (2519 women), 15 of which (1731 women) contribute data. Interventions examined included relaxation, yoga, music and mindfulness. Approximately half of the studies had a low risk of bias for random sequence generation and attrition bias. The majority of studies had a high risk of bias for performance and detection bias, and unclear risk of bias for, allocation concealment, reporting bias and other bias. We assessed the evidence from these studies as ranging from low to very low quality, and therefore the effects below should be interpreted with caution.RelaxationWe found that relaxation compared to usual care provided lowered the intensity of pain (measured on a scale of 0 to 10 with low scores indicating less pain) during the latent phase of labour (mean difference (MD) -1.25, 95% confidence interval (CI) -1.97 to -0.53, one trial, 40 women). Four trials reported pain intensity in the active phase; there was high heterogeneity between trials and very low-quality evidence suggested that there was no strong evidence that the effects were any different between groups for this outcome (MD -1.08, 95% CI -2.57 to 0.41, four trials, 271 women, random-effects analysis). Very low-quality evidence showed that women receiving relaxation reported greater satisfaction with pain relief during labour (risk ratio (RR) 8.00, 95% CI 1.10 to 58.19, one trial, 40 women), and showed no clear benefit for satisfaction with childbirth experience (assessed using different scales) (standard mean difference (SMD) -0.03, 95% CI -0.37 to 0.31, three trials, 1176 women). For safety outcomes there was very low-quality evidence of no clear reduction in assisted vaginal birth (average RR 0.61, 95% CI 0.20 to 1.84, four trials, 1122 women) or in caesarean section rates (average RR 0.73, 95% CI 0.26 to 2.01, four trials, 1122 women). Sense of control in labour, and breastfeeding were not reported under this comparison.YogaWhen comparing yoga to control interventions there was low-quality evidence that yoga lowered pain intensity (measured on a scale of 0 to 10) with low scores indicating less pain) (MD -6.12, 95% CI -11.77 to -0.47, one trial, 66 women), greater satisfaction with pain relief (MD 7.88, 95% CI 1.51 to 14.25, one trial, 66 women) and greater satisfaction with childbirth experience (MD 6.34, 95% CI 0.26 to 12.42 one trial, 66 women (assessed using the Maternal Comfort Scale with higher score indicating greater comfort). Sense of control in labour, breastfeeding, assisted vaginal birth, and caesarean section were not reported under this comparison.MusicWhen comparing music to control interventions there was evidence of lower pain intensity in the latent phase for women receiving music (measured on a scale of 0 to 10 with low scores indicating less pain) (MD -0.73, 95% CI -1.01 to -0.45, random-effects analysis, two trials, 192 women) and very low-quality evidence of no clear benefit in the active phase (MD -0.51, 95% CI -1.10 to 0.07, three trials, 217 women). Very low-quality evidence suggested no clear benefit in terms of reducing assisted vaginal birth (RR 0.41, 95% CI 0.08 to 2.05, one trial, 156 women) or caesarean section rate (RR 0.78, 95% CI 0.36 to 1.70, two trials, 216 women). Satisfaction with pain relief, sense of control in labour, satisfaction with childbirth experience, and breastfeeding were not reported under this comparison.Audio analgesiaOne trial evaluating audio analgesia versus control only reported one outcome and showed no evidence of benefit in satisfaction with pain relief.MindfulnessOne trial evaluating mindfulness versus usual care found an increase in sense of control for the mindfulness group (using the Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory) (MD 31.30, 95% CI 1.61 to 60.99, 26 women). There is no strong evidence that the effects were any different between groups for satisfaction in childbirth, or for caesarean section rate, need for assisted vaginal delivery or need for pharmacological pain relief. No other outcomes were reported in this trial. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Relaxation, yoga and music may have a role with reducing pain, and increasing satisfaction with pain relief, although the quality of evidence varies between very low to low. There was insufficient evidence for the role of mindfulness and audio-analgesia. The majority of trials did not report on the safety of the interventions. Further randomised controlled trials of relaxation modalities for pain management in labour are needed. Trials should be adequately powered and include clinically relevant outcomes such as those described in this review.
