This review evaluated the effect of complementary and alternative medicine on pain during labor with conventional scientific methods using electronic data bases through 2006 were used. Only randomized controlled trials with outcome measures for labor pain were kept for the conclusions. Many studies did not meet the scientific inclusion criteria. According to the randomized control trials, we conclude that for the decrease of labor pain and/or reduction of the need for conventional analgesic methods: (i) There is an efficacy found for acupressure and sterile water blocks. (ii) Most results favored some efficacy for acupuncture and hydrotherapy. (iii) Studies for other complementary or alternative therapies for labor pain control have not shown their effectiveness.
这篇综述使用电子数据库，采用常规科学方法评估了补充和替代医学对分娩疼痛的影响，检索范围截至 2006 年。只有对分娩疼痛有结局指标的随机对照试验才被纳入结论。许多研究未达到科学纳入标准。根据随机对照试验，我们得出结论，对于降低分娩疼痛和/或减少对常规镇痛方法的需求：（i）穴位按压和无菌水块有效。（ii）大多数结果表明针灸和水疗有一定效果。（iii）其他用于分娩疼痛控制的补充或替代疗法的研究尚未显示其有效性。
