Study Overview
Brief Summary
The study has two groups. one of them is experimental group that is given massage with clove oil. The other one is control group that is given standard midwifery care. Each group consists of 30 women. We will evaluate their labor pain scores by using Visual Analogue Scale before and after massage application.
