Our objective was to determine if there is a difference in anxiety during urodynamics in women given lavender aromatherapy (lavender) versus placebo.
This was a randomized, controlled trial of women scheduled for urodynamic testing with baseline anxiety. Participants rated their anxiety and pain immediately before the examination and then were randomized to lavender or placebo. Anxiety and pain were assessed immediately after catheter placement and 15 minutes after termination of the study.
Data for 40 women who received lavender and 38 women who received placebo were available for analysis. Decrease in anxiety from baseline to catheter placement (-2 vs -0.5, P = 0.01) and 15 minutes post procedure was significantly greater in the lavender group. Postprocedure anxiety was lower in the lavender group compared with controls (0 vs 0.5, P = 0.001). No differences were seen in pain.
Lavender aromatherapy reduces anxiety during urodynamics.
本研究旨在比较在接受尿动力检查的女性中,给予薰衣草香薰(薰衣草)与安慰剂相比,其焦虑程度是否存在差异。
这是一项针对接受尿动力检查且基线焦虑的女性的随机对照试验。参与者在检查前立即评估其焦虑和疼痛程度,然后随机分配至薰衣草组或安慰剂组。在导管放置后立即以及研究结束后 15 分钟评估焦虑和疼痛。
共有 40 名接受薰衣草治疗的女性和 38 名接受安慰剂治疗的女性的数据可用于分析。与基线相比,导管放置时的焦虑程度下降(-2 分与-0.5 分,P = 0.01),以及 15 分钟后(-2 分与-0.5 分,P = 0.01),薰衣草组的焦虑程度下降更为明显。与对照组相比,薰衣草组术后焦虑程度较低(0 分与 0.5 分,P = 0.001)。两组间疼痛无差异。
薰衣草香薰可减轻尿动力检查过程中的焦虑。
