Background & aim
Pain is a common experience for women during labor. In the present study, we compared the effect of two types of non-pharmacological pain relief methods “music therapy” and “Hoku point ice massage” on the severity of labor pain. Methods This prospective, randomized, controlled trial was conducted in Shahrekord, Iran, from September 2013 to June 2014. We randomly assigned 90 primiparous women who expected a normal childbirth into three groups: group “A” received music therapy, group “B” received Hoku point ice massage, and group “C” received usual labor care. At the beginning of the active phase (4 cm cervical dilation) and before and after each intervention (at dilations 4, 6, and 8 cm), the intensities of labor pain were measured using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Results At the beginning of the active phase, the mean VAS scores were 5.58 ± 1.29, 5.42 ± 1.31, and 6.13 ± 1.37 in the women in groups “A,” “B,” and “C,” respectively (P > 0.05). After the intervention, the mean pain scores were significantly lower at all of the time points in groups “A” and “B” than in group “C” women (P 0.05). Conclusions Music therapy and Hoku point ice massage are easily available and inexpensive methods and have a similar effect in relieving labor pain. |
