The objective of this research is to evaluate the effect of massage therapy as a resource for pain relief during the active phase of labor.
The research will be of type randomized controlled trial, consisting of low-risk nulliparous pregnant women admitted to the Referral Center for Women's Health in Ribeirão Preto.
The mothers will be distributed in two groups (lumbosacral massage) and control (routine maternity) and will be assessed before and after therapy, which corresponds to 30 minutes between 4-5 cm of cervical dilation.
The evaluation will be performed by numerical category scale, Diagram Location of Pain and Pain Questionnaire McGll (reduced form).
After delivery will apply a customer satisfaction questionnaire.
Studie Overzicht
Gedetailleerde beschrijving
The pain in labor appears as a subjective experience, individual interaction involving a broad physiological, psychosocial and environmental influences, representing one of the main clinical signs of this phase.
Despite presenting an important biological function, is today well established the need for their relief, since its persistence is associated with harmful effects on mother and fetus.
Among the available non-pharmacological resources, we highlight the massage therapy that has shown positive effects in relieving pain and promoting the comfort of the mother.

Effectiveness of Massage Therapy in Pain Relief During Labor.
Tijdsspanne: 30 minutes
|
The Visual Analogue Scale was used to assess the pain intensitiy after each procedure according to the study design.
The VAS is a scale composed by a straight line printed on a paper measuring 100 milimeters, where only the 0 (Zero) and the 100 (one hundred) points are marked.
The patient is then asked to mark this line accordingly to the intensity of the pain felt in that moment, considering 0 (Zero) to be no pain at all, and 100 (one hundred) to be the most unbearable pain ever suffered.
The researcher would measure the distance, in milimeters, from the 0 (Zero)mm to the point were the patient marked, wich was considered to be the intensity of the pain felt by the patient in that moment.
A reduction of 13mm or more in this scale is considered to be a significative pain reduction.

In the institution where this study was conducted, the request for analgesia, made by the patient, is granted promptly.
Considering that the further the cervyx dilation grows, the greater the pain intensity is, the cervical dilation was used as an indicator of the moment that the women in labour requested this procedure, and, therefore, could provide a comparison between methods.
