    Non-pharmacological Resources in Assisting Labor

    NCT01389128

    Oct 2011 to Jul 2012

Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

The proposed project will be conducted to evaluate the influence of application resources associated with non-pharmacological during labor for pain relief and accelerated phase of expansion. Although mothers' access to resources for non-pharmacological pain relief during labor is recommended, is not seen as the application of routine obstetric practice, although it has been demonstrated benefits and scientific evidence with your application. It is believed that the implementation of associated application of non-pharmacological resources in assisting the labor can be introduced into daily practice in various hospitals in the country, minimizing pain and favoring the shorter duration of labor, decrease in use of painkillers and inductors, resulting in a reduction of complications, improves the comfort of the mother making her birth experience more satisfying and rewarding, being assisted with security and trained by multidisciplinary teams.

  • Routine careOther

Arms2

  • Active comparator

    Control Group

    Pregnant women who receive assistance from the routine CRSM MATER care, not being assisted by the physiotherapist, but that will be evaluated at the same time in the intervention group.

  • Experimental

    Intervention Group

    Pregnant women who receive the application the combination of non-pharmacological resources according to cervical dilation: pelvic mobility , lumbosacral massage and warm shower.

Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Pain Relief

    Time frame · ten hours

    Registry description

    The Visual Analogue Scale - VAS - was used to measure the intensity of the pain described by the patients during the study. The patient was requested do mark a dot in a straight line, measuring 100mm, being a 0 (Zero) no pain and 100 the most intense pain. The researcher then would measure the estimated pain intensity in millimeters. The pain intensity was measured in all three phases before and after each procedure assigned to each group. The phases and their respective procedures were: * Phase I: 4-5cm of cervical dilation (pelvic mobility in exercise ball) * Phase II: 5-6cm of cervical dilation (lumbosacral massage) * Phase III: 7cm or higher cervical dilation (warm shower)

Secondary outcomes(6)
  1. Evolution of Labor

    Time frame · 10 hours

    Registry description

    Amount of minutes, from admission to labor.

  2. Moment That Women Requested Analgesia During the Active Phase of Labor

    Time frame · 10 hours

    Registry description

    Mean uterine cervical dilation at the moment the patient requested analgesia for pain relief. Data obtained from medical record

  3. Number of Women Who Received Pharmacological Analgesia

    Time frame · 10 hours

    Registry description

    Determine the number of women who where submitted to pharmacological analgesia, either prescribed by the attending physician ou requested by the patient herself.

  4. Type of Delivery

    Time frame · 10 hours

    Registry description

    Type of delivery at the end of the active phase of labor.

  5. Number of Participants Whose Neonates Had:

    Time frame · 10 hours

    Registry description

    Number and type of neonatal complications as reported in medical chart

  6. Number of Participants With:

    Time frame · 10 hours

    Registry description

    Number and type of maternal complications as reported in medical chart
