Evaluation of Maternal and Perinatal Outcomes Associated With the Use of Non-pharmacological in Parturients in Active Phase of Labor
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Use of non-pharmacological and Other: Routine care for Pain. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Although there are studies that investigated the use of non-pharmacological pain relief and correction of dystocia during labor, there are few randomized controlled trials, especially related to combined protocols that use such resources. The use of combined protocols could potentiate the effects of resource use alone, evidencing the need for more studies related to the topic, as well as the effects of these methods on maternal and perinatal outcomes. In order to verify the effect of these methods in various stages of labor, childbirth and immediately becomes necessary to conduct a randomized controlled trial well-designed and adequate sample size that can make the future systematic reviews that can definitely conclude about the potential effectiveness of protocols that use combined resources to non-pharmacological pain relief in labor. Aim of our study is to evaluate the effects of a protocol of non-pharmacological resources on pain of pregnant women in the active phase of cervical dilatation and compared with controls.
