Filter by:The goal of this study was to compare the effects of ice massage and virtual reality animation on labor pain, duration, and satisfaction with delivery. The main questions aims to answer are: H1 There are differences between Ice massage group and/or virtual reality animation groups and the control group in women's' labor pain. H2 There are differences between Ice massage group and/or virtual reality animation groups and the control group in women's' labor duration. H3 There are differences between Ice massage group and/or virtual reality animation groups and the control group in women's' satisfaction. This randomized controlled trial (n = 94) includes three arms. Two intervention groups (ice massage (IMG); virtual reality animation (VRA)) and one control group, (CG). Personal information form, and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Birth Satisfaction Scale will used to collect data. Frequency and percentage calculations, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis test, chi-square test, Tukey's honestly significant difference test, and will used for data analysis.
The aim of this study is to compare two modes of labour epidural analgesia: programmed intermittent epidural boluses (PIEB) versus continuous epidural infusion (CEI), with patient controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA), using dexmedetomidine in addition to low-dose bupivacaine and through measuring the total volume of local anesthetic received through patient controlled epidural analgesia per hour
The cervix consists of connective tissue, smooth muscle, and parasympathetic innervation. Smooth muscle makes up about 15% of the cervix, is mainly found under the internal opening of the neck. Papaverine and its derivatives are musculotropic antispasmodic drugs that directly affect smooth muscle, the mechanism is to reduce the spasm of smooth muscle resulting in relaxation. Studies on the pharmacokinetics of this drug show that it has a half-life of 0.5-2 hours and its effect is apparent within 10 minutes. Administration of antispasmodic drugs during childbirth is common in developing and developed countries. Based on previous studies, the use of these drugs during childbirth may lead to a faster opening of the cervix. Possible uses of Papaverine include, administered separately or in combination with other treatments such as rupture of amniotic membranes and/or Oxytocin administration. According to some studies, administration of Papaverine at birth can be used as a preventive or therapeutic strategy in cases of prolonged labor or first stage over 12 hours as defined in some studies. According to Kochran et al, who included 13 experiments with 1995 participants, the use of antispasmodic drugs shortened the first stage of labor by an average of 74.34 minutes. In 6 experiments that included 820 patients, the administration of antispasmodic drugs during labor increases the rate of cervical opening by an average of 0.61 cm per hour. In addition to the muscle relaxation effect, studies have been published on the analgesic effect of PAPAVERINE for example in patients with urinary stones. In the present study, the investigators want to test the effect of administering PAPAVERINE IV 80 mg within half an hour before the insertion of a catheter balloon for cervical ripening on the Bishop score after catheter removal between the two groups.
The aim of the study will be to compare the role of Dexmedetomidine, Nalbuphine and fentanyl as additives to epidural bupivacaine in painless vaginal delivery as regard of effectiveness analgesia and maternal safety.
The goal of this retrospective cohort study is to learn about wether the gender of the anesthetist affects time to epidural anesthesia (EDA) for laboring women . The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is there a gender difference in time to applying EDA 2. What is the mean waiting for EDA in laboring women in Sweden Participants (anesthesiologists) will be reviewed according to the time from when the midwife asks for EDA to anesthesiologist register that it was in place
This study was planned to determine the effect of continuous accompanying support during the active phase on labor pain, duration and satisfaction.
It has been reported that the birth ball has benefits such as decreasing the perception of labor pain, reducing the anxiety level, shortening the duration of the first stage of labor, increasing the satisfaction of birth, and facilitating the descent of the fetal head, but the literature is quite limited. So, this randomized controlled experimental study aimed to examine the effect of birth ball exercise on labor pain, delivery duration, birth comfort, and birth satisfaction.
Purpose: In the study , it was aimed to determine the effect of ice massage applied to SP6 point during labor on labor pain, labor comfort, labor duration, and anxiety. Design: A single blind, randomized controlled experimental trial Setting and Participants: 100 primiparas, 50 in the intervention group and 50 in the control group, with 4-5 cm cervical dilatations were included in the study. Ice massage was applied to the SP6 point of the pregnant women in the intervention group at 4-5 cm, 6-7 cm, and 8-9 cm dilatations during three contractions. Measurement Tools: The Pregnant Information Form, VAS, the Partograph Form, Childbirth Comfort Questionnaire (CCQ), and the State Anxiety Scale were used to collect data.
This study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study.To evaluate the effects of aromatherapy, one of the non-pharmacological pain methods, on labor pain and anxiety in the active phase in primiparous pregnant women. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is ylang ylang oil applied as an inhaler effective in reducing labor pain and anxiety? Is lemon oil applied as an inhaler effective in reducing labor pain and anxiety? Participants randomized according to the closed envelope method into the lemon oil group (n=15), ylang ylang oil group (n=15) and control group (n=15). In the active phase (cervical dilatation ≥5), a drop of essential oil was instilled onto square cotton balls to the intervention groups and renewed as one drop every hour until labor occurred. In the control group, 1 drop of saline was dripped onto square cotton balls. Visual pain scale (VAS) and state anxiety ınventory were applied to the intervention groups and control groups before the application. After the application, VAS and state anxiety ınventory were evaluated at 5-7 cm dilatation, and only with VAS at 8-10 cm dilatation. The trait anxiety ınventory was administered to the volunteers after birth.
Studies indicate that up to 75% of women will experience pain sometime during their pregnancy. Recent recommendations by the FDA recommended that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDS) medications be avoided during pregnancy. This recommendation limits the pain medications available for use during pregnancy. Antidotal evidence suggests that the FDA cleared Soovu pulsed heat device may produce pain relief during pregnancy. This study tests the Soovu device's ability to provide pain relief during pregnancy and up to one month post-partum and may eventually offer a safe nondrug option to treat pregnancy related pain. This is an observational pilot study The primary objective and hypothesis of this study is that the use of the Soovu pain management device will produce a significant reduction of pain when comparing pre versus post treatment pain.
