“…14 Consistent with our study, El-Refaye GE et al also reported its high significance in reducing labor pain and shortening duration of first stage labor. 15 The effectiveness is by constantly stimulating skin receptors, so that they act on superficial and deep tissues and promote pain relief through gate control theory of pain, as suggested by Melzack and Wall. It also relieves pain by microscopically lifting skin where the taped portion forms convolutions in the skin, increasing the interstitial space, thereby supporting lymph circulation, reducing pressure and irritation on sensory and neural receptors.…”

“…The most appropriate application site of KT is the dermatome of uterine innervations and over the anterior lower abdomen where radiating pain is felt. 14,15 Acupuncture-like TENS (Acu-TENS) applied over traditional acupuncture points like Li4 (Hegu) and Sp6 (Sanyinjiao) are used to modulate labor pain. [16][17] Breathing exercises such as diaphragmatic and costal breathing enable a woman for better control of her labor response.…”

Background: The common reason for rise in elective Caesarean Section (CS) rate among primigravidas is maternal request due to labor pain fear. Many non-pharmacological pain relief strategies are available to help women cope with labor pain, providing a positive and satisfactory birth experience. The objective of this study was to evaluate effects of KT and Acu-TENS on maternal and neonatal outcomes in primigravidas.Methods: 40 full-term primigravidas with an age range of 20-40 years were enrolled into the study by convenience sampling method and divided into 2 groups. Group A received KT and Group B received Acu-TENS. Both groups received breathing exercises. Pain assessment at various cervical dilatation levels were carried out for all participants before and after treatment using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Duration of active phase in first stage labor, mode of delivery and neonatal well-being were measured following delivery.Results: Group A experienced VAS score reduction significantly more than Group B, p=0.004; <0.05. There was no significant change in active phase duration of first stage labor between Group A and Group B, p=0.319; >0.05. CS rate was increased in Group A [35% (7/20)] than in Group B [25% (5/20)], but neonatal outcomes were not different.Conclusions: This study proves that KT produced significantly better pain relief than Acu-TENS in first stage labor among primigravidas. Acu-TENS showed reduction in active phase duration of first stage labor than KT. Both interventions can safely be used non-invasively for labor pain relief.

Introdução: A dor durante o trabalho de parto pode ser modulada por agentes não farmacológicos, todavia, seus mecanismos não estão completamente elucidados. Os objetivos foram identificar evidências científicas sobre recursos não-farmacológicos para o alívio da dor no trabalho de parto em associação a um relato de experiência. Metodologia: Revisão integrativa da literatura realizada através do acesso às bases de dados BVS, Embase e MEDLINE com descritores, respectivamente, do DECS, Emtree e MESH em fevereiro de 2021. Foram incluídos artigos oriundos de pesquisa original, na íntegra, em inglês, português ou espanhol, no recorte temporal de 2014 a 2020 e que apresentassem o uso de recursos não-farmacológicos para alívio da dor em parturientes. Adicionalmente, relata-se uma experiência de extensão vivenciada por discentes do Curso de Fisioterapia em maternidade pública do interior do Rio Grande do Sul. Resultados: Encontraram-se 20 artigos que empregaram de forma isolada ou combinada massoterapia, deambulação, posturas verticais, exercícios pélvicos e respiratórios, musicoterapia, bola de parto, banho de aspersão ou de imersão, taping e eletroestimulação transcutânea (EET). A ação de extensão envolveu 13 parturientes que foram assistidas com recursos terapêuticos, além do estímulo à liberdade de movimento e de vocalização. Conclusão: Tais métodos podem ser medidas de conforto na assistência de acordo com a revisão integrativa e com o relato de experiência. Sugere-se que novos estudos sejam realizados, buscando qualificar e fortalecer a abordagem fisioterapêutica no trabalho de parto.

Effectiveness of breathing exercises, foot reflexology and back massage (BRM) on labour pain, anxiety, duration, satisfaction, stress hormones and newborn outcomes among primigravidae during the first stage of labour in Saudi Arabia: a study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

IntroductionLabour pain is among the severest pains primigravidae may experience during pregnancy. Failure to address labour pain and anxiety may lead to abnormal labour. Despite the many complementary non-pharmacological approaches to coping with labour pain, the quality of evidence is low and best approaches are not established. This study protocol describes a proposed investigation of the effects of a combination of breathing exercises, foot reflexology and back massage (BRM) on the labour experiences of primigravidae.Methods and analysisThis randomised controlled trial will involve an intervention group receiving BRM and standard labour care, and a control group receiving only standard labour care. Primigravidae of 26–34 weeks of gestation without chronic diseases or pregnancy-related complications will be recruited from antenatal clinics. Eligible and consenting patients will be randomly allocated to the intervention or the control group stratified by intramuscular pethidine use. The BRM intervention will be delivered by a trained massage therapist. The primary outcomes of labour pain and anxiety will be measured during and after uterine contractions at baseline (cervical dilatation 6 cm) and post BRM hourly for 2 hours. The secondary outcomes include maternal stress hormone (adrenocorticotropic hormone, cortisol and oxytocin) levels, maternal vital signs (V/S), fetal heart rate, labour duration, Apgar scores and maternal satisfaction. The sample size is estimated based on the between-group difference of 0.6 in anxiety scores, 95% power and 5% α error, which yields a required sample size of 154 (77 in each group) accounting for a 20% attrition rate. The between-group and within-group outcome measures will be examined with mixed-effect regression models, time series analyses and paired t-test or equivalent non-parametric tests, respectively.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval was obtained from the Ethical Committee for Research Involving Human Subjects of the Ministry of Health in the Saudi Arabia (H-02-K-076-0319-109) on 14 April 2019, and from the Ethics Committee for Research Involving Human Subjects (JKEUPM) Universiti Putra Malaysia on 23 October 2019, reference number: JKEUPM-2019–169. Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants. Results from this trial will be presented at regional, national and international conferences and published in indexed journals.Trial registration numberISRCTN87414969, registered 3 May 2019.
