“…Table 1 provides details of the included studies involving 1238 pregnant women at labor onset [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Eight trials included only nulliparous women (81.0%) [17,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27], one trial did not report parity (8.9%) [18], and one trial showed the mean ± SD of the numbers of parity 1.31 ± 0.72 for the intervention group and 1.22 ± 0.91 for the control group (9.6%) [19]. All of the trials recruited participants with singleton pregnancy and full-term pregnancy, and did not report existing medical conditions.…”

Background Clinical practice with aromatherapy has become an expanding area for nursing, and is considered one of the most popularly used complementary treatments. However, there is insufficient evidence about the benefits of aromatherapy for pain management and other related discomforts in labor. We aimed to evaluate the effects of aromatherapy for women during delivery particularly for pain relief. Methods AMED, ClinicalTrials.Gov, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PubMed, and WHO ICTRP were searched in August 2017. For updates, these databases were searched from July 2017 to July 2018. This study included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs for normal pregnancy women who were experiencing labor onset, and compared aromatherapy with standard care or control. Results Six RCTs from six reports, and four quasi-RCTs from five reports were included (1238 pregnant women). The trials found significant difference between groups for the primary outcomes of pain relief on the latent (MD -1.56, 95%CI: -2.45 to -0.67, low certainty of evidence) and early active phase (MD -1.69, 95%CI: -2.50 to -0.89, low certainty of evidence). However, there were no significant differences for the primary outcomes of pain relief on the late active phase, and anxiety relief on the early and late active phases. Conclusions This meta-analysis found evidence that the use of inhalation aromatherapy for term pregnancy women is associated with reduction of labor pain. However, there is insufficient evidence to confirm pain relief on the late active phase, anxiety relief, and other outcomes following aromatherapy. Trial registration We registered the study protocol with PROSPERO (CRD42017077617).
