Background: Normal vaginal delivery is considered a painful process and it is difficult to tolerate the pain. The goal of this study was to compare the effect of injection of sterile distilled water and normal saline on pain intensity in nulliparous women. Materials and Methods: This triple-blind clinical trial was conducted on 164 nulliparous women randomly selected from among those who were hospitalized in Motahari Hospital of Jahrom, Iran, from 1 May 2012 to 1 October 2013. Women with a gestational age of 37–42 weeks, dilatation of 4–6 cm, and delivery 180 min after the intervention were selected. The subjects were randomly allocated to four groups of intracutaneous and subcutaneous sterile water and normal saline injections. Pain severity was measured 5 min before the injection and every 30 min up to 3 h after the injection using a visual analog scale. The data were analyzed using Chi-square, Scheffe, and Spearman's correlation tests in SPSS software. Results: There was no significant difference among the four studied groups concerning gestational age and other demographic characteristics. Chi-square test showed lower pain intensity 120 min after the injection in group 4 (subcutaneous injection of normal saline) ( F 3 = 14.75, p < 0.001) and 150 min after the injection in group 3 (intracutaneous injection of normal saline) ( F 3 = 14.75, p < 0.001). Chi-square test showed that the duration of the second stage of labor was shorter in group 4 participants (subcutaneous injection of normal saline) ( F 3 = −12.23, p < 0.001). Conclusions: The study showed that subcutaneous and intracutaneous injection of normal saline reduced the intensity of pain during childbirth.

“…Whether the tissue to be given sterile water injection will affect the targeted analgesic is another debated topic, and the majority of the studies focus on intradermal injections [11,13,21,22]. On the other hand, some study samples showed that subcutaneous sterile water injection was also effective in relieving low-back pain [18,[23][24][25]. The literature includes studies that compared sterile water injection and other nonpharmacological pain control methods, yet while one study found sterile water injection more effective than transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), another study found it more effective than acupuncture [26,27].…”

“…Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate not only the effects of the method on pregnant women's pain perception but also on satisfaction and labor experience [4]. However, while few studies in the literature were found to have investigated mothers' satisfaction with the technique, no studies were found to have investigated its effects on labor experiences [15,17,24,26,34]. For this reason, this study aimed to investigate the effect of intradermal sterile water injection on pain perceptions and labor experiences of women who experience low-back pain during labor.…”

Background: Sterile water injection is rapidly gaining popularity as a method of pain relief in labor. The purpose of this single-blinded randomized controlled study is to investigate the effect of intradermal sterile water injection (ISWI) on labor experiences of women who experience low-back pain during labor. Methods: The sample group of the study was 120 pregnant women with severe low-back pain during labor (30-sterile water, 30-saline solution, 60-control). In the study, the baseline low back pain score (>7) was determined with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in the ISWI group and then 0.1 mL sterile water made to form 4 small blebs 1 over each posterior superior iliac spine and 2 others placed 3 cm below and 1 cm medial to each of the first sites (Michaelis Rhomboid). The VAS scoring were repeated at 10-30-60-90 and 120th minutes after the injections. In the saline solution group, injection of 0.1 mL saline solution was made with the same procedure. Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) were utilized to determine the effect of injections on participants' labor experiences. Also participants' satisfaction with the method was evaluated via Intradermal injections assessment form. Results: There was a significant difference between the mean VAS scores in favor of the ISWI group (p < 0.05). Also comparisons indicated significant differences in favor of the ISWI group in terms of both CEQ total mean score and women's thoughts about injections (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The findings of this study showed that ISWI was effective in relieving low-back pain during labor and the technique had positive effects on labor experiences.

Objectives: The objectives of the study are to assess the efficacy of sterile water for injection (SWI) in reducing labor pain, compare it with a saline procedure, and see which one is superior. Parameters assessed were pain relief based on the numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) and duration of labor from intervention to delivery associated with administration of subcutaneous SWI versus normal saline injection (NSI). Methods: This is a prospective randomized interventional hospital-based comparative study of mothers who were in active labor with back pain and undergoing treatment in the labor room of Eden Hospital, Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata. The study was conducted on 66 willing pregnant mothers, divided into two groups of 33 each with one injected with normal saline and the other with sterile water. Results: The NPRS score was almost equal in 2 groups at 15 min, but with an increase in duration, it was seen that the score was low in the sterile water group compared to the normal saline group. The association was statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: This study hypothesized that subcutaneous SWI for relieving labor pain is better than subcutaneous NSI. Based on this study, it is concluded that both the SWI and NSI reduce labor pain, but the SWI produced a significantly greater reduction of pain as measured by the numeric pain rating score and also better satisfaction. Therefore, SWI is a safe, simple, and cost-effective method and can be used as a pain-relieving method, especially in the absence of other pain-relieving options.
