Background and objective The mother's ability to tolerate labor discomfort has an impact on how the labor progresses. Good pain management will boost mothers' ability to labor collaboratively and will shorten the time it takes for the uterus to open completely. Many women prefer not to use pharmaceutical or invasive pain relief during labor, which may have contributed to the popularity of complementary pain relief approaches. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the Jacobson relaxation technique and Lamaze breathing technique in the management of pain and stress during labor. Methods Thirty-six women aged between 25 and 35 years were randomly assigned to two groups for the purpose of this study. Group A received the Jacobson relaxation technique while Group B received the Lamaze breathing technique for four weeks. The patients were instructed to practice breathing techniques at the time of labor. The outcomes measure included the Numerical pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), which would be measured before and after the delivery. Results The subjects showed improved labor pain and anxiety following the physiotherapy intervention. The results were found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion Based on our findings, physiotherapy intervention plays an integral role in the multidisciplinary approach to relieving labor pain and helping patients have a normal vaginal delivery.
背景与目的 母亲耐受分娩不适的能力会影响分娩的进展。良好的疼痛管理将提高母亲协同分娩的能力，并缩短子宫完全张开所需的时间。许多女性在分娩期间不愿使用药物或侵入性止痛方法，这可能促使了辅助止痛方法的流行。本研究旨在评估雅各布森放松技术和拉玛泽呼吸技术在分娩期间疼痛和压力管理中的有效性。方法 为了本研究，将36名年龄在25至35岁之间的女性随机分为两组。A组接受雅各布森放松技术，而B组接受拉玛泽呼吸技术，为期四周。指导患者在分娩时练习呼吸技术。结局指标包括数字疼痛评分量表（NPRS）和感知压力量表（PSS），将在分娩前后进行测量。结果 经过物理治疗干预后，受试者的分娩疼痛和焦虑状况有所改善。结果具有统计学意义（p<0.05）。结论 根据我们的研究结果，物理治疗干预在缓解分娩疼痛和帮助患者进行正常阴道分娩的多学科方法中起着不可或缺的作用。
