“…Outcomes of the study Primary outcome Pain intensity was evaluated with a lower back pain score through a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), after using a lower dose in only two sites for injection rather than 4 sites reported in previous studies 19,20,22,23 .…”

“…The investigators instructed the participant that she might feel a burning sensation during the administration of the injection, which disappears in a few (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21) seconds but the pain would be relieved within 3-5 minutes and continue up to two hours. Also, women were advised to avoid rubbing the site after injection to avoid fluid leakage 27 .…”

“…Although all trials confirmed a statistically significant difference between treatment and control groups in pain scores, there is a number of limitations of these trials, such as the small sample size of the participants 11,[16][17][18] . Blind experiment design was not reported in trials [19][20][21] , which may lead to inaccurate outcomes. Relevant to our study, no trail suggested the use of a different number of injections.…”

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a lower dose subcutaneous sterile water injection technique versus subcutaneous saline injection, on the relief of low-back pain for women during childbirth, and to explore the lasting effects of pain relief after administration (followed at 15, 30, 45, 90 and 120 minutes). METHODS A prospective randomized controlled single-blinded study was conducted, with trial registration (NCT02813330). Women received one-time injections (sterile water or saline) and the effectiveness was observed at 15, 30, 45, 90 and 120 minutes after the intervention. RESULTS The intervention group had statistically significant pain reduction. Assessment of subsequent pain, followed at 30, 45, 90 and 120 minutes, reflected an increasing change with a statistically significant difference. The intervention group had more burning sensations than the control group with a statistically significant difference. CONCLUSIONS The modified technique of double injections of subcutaneous 'water/ saline' resulted in significant relief of low-back pain during childbirth.

“…Um volume de 0,1 mL de água em cada injeção subcutânea (Figura 1) com agulha hipodérmica 13 × 5 proporciona de uma a duas horas de redução de escores de dor por meio do mecanismo inibitório do portão da dor espinal. As injeções podem retardar a aplicação da anestesia peridural lombar no trabalho de parto e também não impedem o uso associado de outras medidas analgésicas sistêmicas mais eficazes [26][27][28] .…”

“…A volume equal to 0.1 mL of water for each subcutaneous injection (Figure 1) with a 13 x 5 needle reduces pain scores for 1 to 2 hours by inhibiting the spinal gate mechanism of pain. Injections can also delay the administration of epidural anesthesia during labor and does not hinder the concomitant use of other more effective systemic analgesic measures [26][27][28] .…”
