“…Two meta-analyses have examined the effects of hypnosis [81,82]. The Cochrane metaanalysis, published in 2012, included only one randomized trial that assessed oxytocin recourse in both groups [83].…”

A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 2 2 SummaryObjectives. ─ The objective of our work was to determine the effects of co-interventions used during labor with oxytocin or for labor dystocia.Methods. ─ We searched for reports of the interventions we sought to study published between 1987 and 2015, looking especially for meta-analyses and randomized trials via the Medline database and the Cochrane Library. We limited our research to studies of spontaneous labor in singleton pregnancies at term. Conclusions. ─ Few of the co-interventions studied appear to modulate recourse to oxytocin.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of epidural analgesia during labour on neonatal-maternal outcomes. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of nulliparous parturients who gave birth in Västernorrland County, Sweden, over a 2-year period between 2015 and 2016. Neonatal outcomes (Apgar score at 5 min and umbilical cord arterial blood gases), maternal outcomes (perineal injury, total bleeding volume and maternal satisfaction with birth) and labour parameters (mode of delivery and the durations of labour and postpartum hospital stay) were evaluated. Results: The study cohort consisted of 1449 women with singleton pregnancies. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether during labour they were administered epidural analgesia using bupivacaine and sufentanil (EDA group, n = 615) or not (non-EDA group, n = 834). The rate of assisted vaginal delivery was significantly higher in the EDA group than in the non-EDA group (15.6% and 11.3%, respectively, p < 0.05), whereas the rates of caesarean section were similar. The duration of the active phase of labour was significantly longer in the EDA group than in the non-EDA group (489 ± 217 min versus 371 ± 210 min, respectively, p < 0.001). The Apgar score at 5 min and umbilical cord blood pH were lower and the base deficit greater in the EDA group (p < 0.001, p < 0.001 and p < 0.01, respectively). Bleeding volume was similar between the groups after adjusting for gestational age. Women in the EDA group were more satisfied with their labour experience, as measured by the visual analogue scale (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that EDA affects delivery and neonatal-maternal outcomes negatively, but increases the mother's satisfaction with labour.

“…During childbirth, suggestions focus on increasing feelings of relaxation, comfort, safety and reducing anxiety and fear (Madden et al, 2016). The Mongan Method and Natal Hypnotherapy are two antenatal education programs which teach self-hypnosis to childbearing women and are widely available in high-income countries (Howell, 2009;Mongan, 2005).…”

“…In maternity, a Cochrane review concluded that hypnosis may reduce the overall use of pharmacological analgesia during labour although not epidural use, but further high-quality research is needed (Madden et al, 2016). Since this review, there have been three large randomised-controlled trials undertaken in Denmark, Australia and the UK (Werner et al, 2013;Cyna et al, 2013;Downe et al, 2015) which studied the efficacy of hypnosis and found no significant reduction in the primary outcome (use of epidural anaesthesia).…”
