“…Parturition pain originates from uterine contractions, fetal expulsion, and inflammation of the uterine tract (43). After birth, pain in human females results from intermittent uterine contractions during involution, when the uterus returns to its normal size and from tissue damage associated with birth (44). Evidence suggests pigs experience post-farrowing pain, as putative behavioral indicators of pain continue beyond the expulsion phase of farrowing in sows (45).…”

There is a moral obligation to minimize pain in pigs used for human benefit. In livestock production, pigs experience pain caused by management procedures, e.g., castration and tail docking, injuries from fighting or poor housing conditions, “management diseases” like mastitis or streptococcal meningitis, and at parturition. Pigs used in biomedical research undergo procedures that are regarded as painful in humans, but do not receive similar levels of analgesia, and pet pigs also experience potentially painful conditions. In all contexts, accurate pain assessment is a prerequisite in (a) the estimation of the welfare consequences of noxious interventions and (b) the development of more effective pain mitigation strategies. This narrative review identifies the sources of pain in pigs, discusses the various assessment measures currently available, and proposes directions for future investigation.

“…This study was approved by the New York Institute anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opioids, and ice packs or heating pads. [1][2][3] Currently, NSAIDs are most commonly used for nonspecific postpartum pain control, and cold packs seem to aid with postpartum perineal pain. 3 However, these modalities are frequently not enough to mitigate the pain, and the discomfort often continues to cause significant distress.…”

“…3 However, these modalities are frequently not enough to mitigate the pain, and the discomfort often continues to cause significant distress. 2,4 Because of the anatomic changes that occur during pregnancy and delivery, it seems that osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) would be an effective adjunctive modality for treating patients with postpartum pain. With vaginal delivery, bony structural changes combined with ligamentous laxity make women particularly prone to postpartum sacroiliac dysfunctions, which can cause severe discomfort.…”
