ABSTRACT
Objective:
Evaluate the efficacy of single and mixed complementary therapies, with different analgesic mechanisms, in relieving pain and anxiety during the late labor period. Design andmethod:
In this study, 145 primiparous women with 2-3â cm dilation of the cervix were randomly assigned to one of five groups control group (psychological comfort), comprehensive group, aroma group, auricular acupuncture group, and music group. The groups were distributed equally (1111 ratio), and pain and anxiety scores were assessed at 30, 60, and 120â minutes post-intervention in each group. Outcomes andmeasures:
Compared to the control group, all intervention groups showed lower pain scores. The comprehensive group had the largest reduction in pain scores at 30, 60, and 120â minutes post-intervention. The auricular point, aroma, and music groups also demonstrated significant reductions in pain scores at different time points. Only the comprehensive group had a statistically significant reduction in anxiety at 30â minutes post-intervention compared to the control group. However, at 60 and 120â minutes post-intervention, all intervention groups showed lower anxiety scores compared to the control group.Conclusion:
The optimal effects of each therapy varied in terms of timing and duration. Combination therapy showed a greater effect size than single complementary therapy.
