Veränderungen der Zervixreife und Geburtsdauer nach geburtsvorbereitender Akupunkturtherapie. Das Mannheimer Schema - Prenatal Acupuncture: Effects on Cervical Maturation and Duration of Labor -
Abstract:ZusammenfassungAkupunkturtherapie ist in Europa unter der Geburt vorwiegend als Analgesiemethode bekannt. In der einschlägigen Literatur werden zur Geburtsvorbereitung vorwiegend Akupunkturpunkte mit psychisch ausgleichender Wirkung angegeben. Ziel der vorliegenden Studie ist die Untersuchung von morphologisch nachweisbaren Veränderungen wie Zervixlängenände-rung, des Bishop-Scores und der Geburtsdauer nach Akupunkturtherapie mit spezifischen Akupunkturpunkten, die in der Literatur als geburtserleichternd besc… Show more
“…In this randomized controlled trial (RCT) study Rabl et al found that acupuncture in women at term increased cervical ripening and shortened the period from time of confinement to delivery (15). We also found a randomized German study from 1998, on 900 primigravidas, where women in the acupuncture group experienced a significant reduction in the ripening phase of the cervix and a shorter duration of labor after acupuncture treatment starting several weeks before term (4).…”

“…Rabl et al found a significant shortening of the cervix in the acupuncture group. Römer et al (4) and Zeisler et al (14) show a significant shortening of the active phase of labor in the acupuncture group. Rabl et al (15) find a significant shortening of the time from expected date of confinement to delivery in the acupuncture group, but no difference in the active phase of labor.…”

“…This has also been seen in animal tests (4). The mechanism of cervical ripening is far from understood; an increased concentration of hyaluronic acid and content of water in cervix, which leads to a softening and change of consistency in the period before contractions begin is a possible explanation (4). Acupuncture supports the natural process of giving birth.…”

“…Other researchers on acupuncture have proposed explanations as to why acupuncture has beneficial effects on the laboring process. Römer et al (a RTC) (4), Zeisler et al (not a RTC) (13), and Rabl et al (RTC) (15) show that prelabor acupuncture leads to a considerably improved ripening of the cervix. The first paper describes a significant increase in the Bishop score, while the second finds a significant increase in the serum level of prostaglandin E2 in the acupuncture group.…”
Acupuncture may be a good alternative or complement to pharmacological methods in the effort to facilitate birth and provide normal delivery for women with prelabor rupture of membranes.

“…Diese Erleichterung setzt eine Kettenreaktion in Gang: leichtere Verkürzung der Zervix, leichtere Öffnung des Muttermunds, verbesserte Wehenkoordination → weniger Schmerzen → weniger Schmerzmittel → weniger Epiduralanästhesie notwendig → ruhigere Geburt → weniger negative Beeinflussung der Situation des noch Ungeborenen → weniger riskante Herztonabfälle → mehr spontane Geburten. In der 1997 von Römer et al durchgeführten Studie zur Geburtserleichterung konnte die Sectio-Rate im Vergleich zum Kontrollkollektiv um 7 %, Vakuum und Forzeps um 6 % reduziert werden [13].…”
