“…Supposing the mother possesses difficulty in being relaxed or even panics, the muscles throughout the body tightly, hence, the labor process tends to hurt more than it should (Al-qerem, 2020). On the contrary, if the maternity mother is able to relax during the contraction, she will experience comfort during the labor process by employing the right breath relaxation technique, and it will escalate the mother's ability to control her pain and decrease anxiety, lower catecholamine levels, stimulate blood flow to the uterus and decrease muscle tension (Aminisaman et al, 2020). The breath relaxation technique is inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth when the contractions occur (Neige et al, 2020).…”

“…Although physiological processes are generally frightening as they are accompanied by severe pain, frequently even providing rise to life-threatening physical and mental conditions (Alqerem, 2020). Labor pain is caused by myometrial contractions incorporated by physiological and biochemical change mechanisms (Aminisaman et al, 2020). Furthermore, psychological factors, emotions and motivation also affect the beginning of childbirth (Bintang et al, 2021).…”

Labor pain is a subjective experience of physical sensations associated with uterine contractions, dilation, thinning cervix and fetal descent during labor. To resolve the pain of labor, it has been implemented in a nonpharmacological method which is endorphin massage, in understanding endorphin massage for pressing pain in the first stage, in an active phase of normal multiparous mothers' deliveries. This research aims to research endorphin massage's influence on suppressing pain during the active phase of normal labor of multiparous mothers. This study is quasi-experimental with a cross-sectional approach. The study population of all women giving birth administered the purposive sampling data capture techniques, and it was obtained 132 multiparous mothers with normal labor in the observation sheet. Data were examined by administering a T-test. The majority of the pain intensity in the first stage of active phase multiparous mothers with normal labor, before the breath relaxation, is severe, with up to 49% experiencing severe pain. The majority of the percentage of moderate pain in the first stage of active phase multiparous mothers with normal labor, after breath relaxation, is as high as 42%. Meanwhile, the pain intensity of the first stage in active phase multiparous mothers with normal labor, prior to endorphin massage, is as high as 73.3%. Pain intensity of the first stage in active phase multiparous mothers normal labor after endorphin massage, the majority of the percentage is moderate pain up to 53.3%. Statistical test results obtained p-value is 0.004 endorphin massage. In conclusion, there is an effect of breath relaxation on the intensity of pain during normal labor in multiparous mothers. Furthermore, researchers can do a combination of endorpine massage with other treatments to treat pain during the I active phase of labor and pain intensity checks can be done by testing cortisol levels.

“…The small or nonsignificant effects are surprising, given that many of the interventions used in this study have been proven to be effective. 9,10,13,17,20 One reason might be the already relatively low anxiety and pain scores before the intervention. On average, children already started with pain and anxiety scores on the second lowest level.…”

“…Based on the same theory vapocoolant spray, an alcohol‐based mixture that evaporates upon release causing an endothermic reaction, being applied before venipuncture has shown mixed results with some studies proving effective 17,18 and others reporting higher pain scores in comparison to a control group 19 . Finally, there is evidence that a device for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) which is usually used for chronic pain treatment also has an analgesic effect on acute pain 20 . Again, the Gate Control Theory is associated with the analgesic effect, wherein the light electric shocks activate the A‐beta fibers.…”

ObjectivesThe goal of this longitudinal study was to reduce anxiety and pain in children with chronic conditions from the gastrointestinal tract during venipuncture. These children undergo regular venipuncture as part of their medical management and the procedure is often accompanied with anxiety and pain. In addition, children as well as their parents and health care professionals (HCPs) often suffer “compassionate pain” because of emotional interference.MethodIn a realistic clinical setting, different psychological and medical interventions were examined: (1) Psychoeducational brochures and (2) four different medical‐technical interventions during venipuncture. In a large hospital in Germany, 169 children, their parents, and HCPs were asked to rate anxiety and pain during venipuncture before and after the intervention.ResultsChildren showed a clear preference for some of the medical‐technical interventions. Using Linear Mixed Models anxiety and pain rated by the children themselves showed no significant reduction. However, parents and HCPs reported a significant reduction. Age, gender, and status of liver transplantation were associated with a reduction in anxiety and pain in most of the analyses.ConclusionBoth psychoeducational brochures and medical‐technical interventions had a positive impact on anxiety and pain. However, effectivity for the medical–technical interventions was lower than in previous studies utilizing individual interventions. Reasons for this difference as well as possibilities to improve the intervention are discussed. In addition, this study provides practical day‐to‐day information about the implementation of interventions for the work in pediatric units such as when and how to provide psychoeducational materials.

Acupuncture Therapy as an Evidence-Based Nonpharmacologic Strategy for Comprehensive Acute Pain Care: The Academic Consortium Pain Task Force White Paper Update

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background A crisis in pain management persists as does the epidemic of opioid overdose deaths, addiction, and diversion. Pain medicine is meeting these challenges by returning to its origins: the Bonica model of multidisciplinary pain care. The 2018 Academic Consortium White Paper detailed the historical context and magnitude of the pain crisis, and the evidence-base for nonpharmacologic strategies. Over 50% of chronic opioid use begins in the acute pain care setting. Acupuncture may be able to reduce this risk. Objective This paper updates the evidence-base of acupuncture therapy for acute pain with a review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses: post-surgical/peri-operative pain with opioid sparing, acute non-surgical/trauma pain including acute pain in the emergency department (ED). Methods To update reviews cited in the 2018 White Paper, electronic searches were conducted in PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for ‘acupuncture’ and ‘acupuncture therapy’ and ‘acute pain’, ‘surgery’, ‘peri-operative’, ‘trauma’, ‘emergency department’, ‘urgent care’, ‘review(s)’, ‘systematic review’, ‘meta-analysis’ with additional manual review of titles, links, and reference lists. Results There are 22 systematic reviews, 17 with meta-analyses of acupuncture in acute pain settings, and a review for acute pain in the intensive care unit (ICU). There are additional studies of acupuncture in acute pain settings. Conclusion The majority of reviews find acupuncture therapy to be an efficacious strategy for acute pain with potential to avoid and/or reduce opioid reliance. Future multi-center trials are needed to clarify the dosage and generalizability of acupuncture for acute pain in the ED. With an extremely low risk profile, acupuncture therapy is an important strategy in comprehensive acute pain care.
