“…In addition, rank probability analysis indicated that aromatherapy had the highest probability to be rank 1 (35%), meaning that aromatherapy was the most effective intervention for relieving labour pain. This finding is similar to those reported in previous systematic reviews (Chen et al, 2019; Liao et al, 2020) and overview of systematic reviews (Freeman et al, 2019). Aromatherapy, as a kind of mind‐body therapy, uses essential oils extracted from natural crops to relax and balance the mind and body through inhalation, massage, baths, oral administration and so on (Tillett & Ames, 2010).…”

“…However, most of these RCTs chose usual care as the control, and only a few compared different non‐pharmacological interventions using head‐to‐head design (Borup et al, 2009; Dehcheshmeh & Rafiei, 2015; Gönenç & Terzioğlu, 2020; Huang et al, 2008; Taghinejad et al, 2010). Additionally, a relatively large number of meta‐analysis have only combined original studies with the same pair of non‐pharmacological methods for labour pain management to evaluate their positive effects (Liao et al, 2020; Raana & Fan, 2020; Rong et al, 2020; Tabatabaeichehr & Mortazavi, 2020). Hence, it remains unclear which type of non‐pharmacological interventions is the most effective for labour pain management.…”

Aims and objectives: To compare and rank the efficacy and safety of nonpharmacological interventions in the management of labour pain. Background: Recently, various non-pharmacological interventions have been applied to manage labour pain and have shown positive effects. However, evidence identifying which type of non-pharmacological intervention is more efficient and safer is limited. Design: Systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis based on PRISMA-NMA. Methods: Seven databases were searched from database inception-March 2020. Two reviewers independently performed study selection, quality appraisal and data extraction. Conventional meta-analysis was conducted using either fixed-effects model or random-effects model according to statistical heterogeneity. The Bayesian network meta-analysis was conducted using the consistency model. Results: 43 studies involving nine non-pharmacological interventions were included. The Bayesian network meta-analysis showed that acupressure (SMD = −2.00, 95% CrI −3.09 to −0.94), aromatherapy (SMD = −2.01, 95% CrI −3.70 to −0.35) and massage therapy (SMD = −1.26, 95% CrI −2.26 to −0.30) had significant positive effects on alleviating labour pain, with aromatherapy being the most effective. The results also revealed that yoga (SMD = −130.85, 95% CrI −212.01 to −59.32) and acupressure (SMD = −10.14, 95% CrI −20.24 to −0.41) were the most effective interventions for shortening the first stage and the second stage of labour, respectively. There were no significant differences between non-pharmacological interventions and usual care or placebo control on the use of pharmacological methods and neonatal 5-min Apgar score. Conclusions:The evidence in this network meta-analysis illustrates that nonpharmacological interventions are effective and safe for labour pain management in low-risk pregnant women. In the future, well-designed studies are needed to validate the conclusion of this network meta-analysis. Relevance to clinical practice:The results support the use of non-pharmacological interventions, especially aromatherapy and acupressure, to relieve labour pain in

“…Em seus estudos Liao et al, (2020) resumem evidências derivadas de ensaios clínicos randomizados em que a aromaterapia foi realizada como um método analgésico de suporte durante o parto. Os resultados identificaram evidências mais confiáveis que validam que a aromaterapia pode diminuir significativamente a dor do parto nas fases ativa inicial e ativa tardia.…”

Objetivo: investigar as evidencias cientificas sobre os cuidados na utilização da aromaterapia no trabalho de parto. Metodologia: trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, foi realizada entre dezembro e janeiro de 2021, na base de dados National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, e nas bibliotecas virtuais Scientific Electronic Library Online, e Bibioteca Virtual em Saúde. Resultados e Discussão: Mantiveram-se no estudo 9, pois foram julgados coerentes com a proposta da revisão. A questão de segurança na utilização desses óleos essenciais parece de fácil abordagem, no entanto, a discussão a respeito de sua toxicidade é bem mais complexa. Deve-se considerar que os óleos essenciais exercem seus efeitos não apenas físico, mas também efeitos com atuação direta no cérebro, trazendo consequências muitas vezes irreversíveis, os óleos puros frequentemente apresentam toxicidade elevada, tanto que, dentro das recomendações de uso, encontram-se as pequenas dosagens. Conclusão: a adoção da aromaterapia e de outras PIC associada ao resgate das suas bases científicas, possui benefícios no trabalho de parto validados por diversas evidencias cientificas.

“…Evidence suggests that EOs could alleviate anxiety significantly showing short terms benefits 13 . Besides, a metanalysis found that aromatherapy significantly decreased pain and anxiety in the first stage of labor in nulliparous women 14 . In this order of ideas, a study examined the effects of rosa damascene oil on anxiety and sleep quality in cardiac patients, where this aroma significantly reduced anxiety in the experimental group compared to the control group 15 .…”
