简要总结
Labour pain is a challenge to the parturient woman. Pain relief methods during birth are limited and often associated with side effects. Several studies indicate that a mental trainings method, self hypnosis, has a positive impact on the labour pain and other birth outcomes.
The aim of this randomized controlled study is to examine the effect of a short antenatal course in self hypnosis on the use of epidural analgesia during birth and several other birth outcomes. Data collection includes questionnaires, register data, medical records and biological material.
详细描述
Background:
Experiencing labour pain is a challenge to the parturient woman and can possibly cause a traumatic birth experience, post traumatic stress syndrome, post partum depression, caesarean section or refraining from having more children.
Pharmacological pain relief methods to relieve birth pain are limited and often associated with side effects. Investigating new methods without adverse effects to relieve labour pain is therefore important.
Several studies indicate that a mental trainings method, self-hypnosis, has a positive impact on labour pain and several other birth outcomes. However, many of these studies were based on observational data with a limited amount of participants that may be prone to bias and confounding.
