“…However, there was no significant effectiveness on the short term use, which meant that duration was shorter than 72 hours. This result was consistent with the study done by Kane (2004); lemon and lavender oil aromatherapy had no immediate effectiveness on reducing pain during changing dressings, but rather subsequent to the dressing change.…”

“…However, some studies have shown that aromatherapy is ineffective, such as a study by Kane, et al (2004) regarding the effectiveness of lemon and lavender oil aromatherapy in reducing patient pain during changing dressings. The research showed that aromatherapy had no effectiveness in reducing pain while the dressings were being changed, but it was effective in reducing pain after the dressing change.…”

Research literature regarding the effectiveness of lavender essential oil aromatherapy in reducing postoperative surgical wound pain is limited and the results are inconsistent. The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of aromatherapy with 2% lavender essential oil via bottle necklace for postoperative arthroscopic knee wound pain relief. This was a time series experimental design study comprised of two groups. Twenty eight patients comprising the experimental group were given bottle necklaces filled with 0.5ml of 2% lavender essential oil, while thirty two participants of the control group were given empty bottle necklaces to wear. Aromatherapy with 2% lavender essential oil via bottle necklace effectively reduced pain for a long term (72 hours) use, and there were differences in the rate of pain decline between the experimental and control groups. There are no significant findings of groups (experimental group/control group) at 15 minutes, 4, 8, 24, and 48 hours. However, the reduction slope of pain score at the 72th hour after recovery from anesthesia in the experimental group was significantly greater than that of the control group. The pain scores of the experimental group decreased from 6.9 to 1.8, while the pain ratings of the control group decreased to 3.5 from 6.4. This approach to postoperative arthroscopic surgery knee wound pain relief is not recommended for immediate effect, but for a long term use (at least 72 hours after recovery from anesthesia). Future research should aim at establishing standards of aromatherapy care.

“…Lavender oil has been particularly attributed with mood‐enhancing and analgesic properties in healthy subjects and in experimental nociception 4,5 . This therapy has been successfully utilized to alleviate pain in clinical settings as diverse as changing dressings in the intensive care unit, 6 palliative care, 7 for control of labor pain, 8 as well as chronic pain 9 . There are numerous anecdotal reports and small studies that have described the use of this therapy to relief anxiety and improve mood 10 .…”

This study compared the analgesic efficacy of postoperative lavender oil aromatherapy in 50 patients undergoing breast biopsy surgery. Twenty-five patients received supplemental oxygen through a face mask with two drops of 2% lavender oil postoperatively. The remainder of the patients received supplemental oxygen through a face mask with no lavender oil. Outcome variables included pain scores (a numeric rating scale from 0 to 10) at 5, 30, and 60 minutes postoperatively, narcotic requirements in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU), patient satisfaction with pain control, as well as time to discharge from the PACU. There were no significant differences in narcotic requirements and recovery room discharge times between the two groups. Postoperative lavender oil aromatherapy did not significantly affect pain scores. However, patients in the lavender group reported a higher satisfaction rate with pain control than patients in the control group (P = 0.0001).

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of smelling amniotic fluid on comfort and duration of crying caused by peripheral cannulation in preterm infants. This was a randomized controlled trial. The study sample consisted of 80 preterm infants meeting the case selection criteria. The infants were randomly assigned to experimental and control group. Upon exclusion of some infants from the study, total number of infants in both groups was 61. The infants in the amniotic fluid group smelled amniotic fluid for 15 minutes before, during, and for 15 minutes after the ap-plication of peripheral cannulation, whereas the infants in the control group did not undergo any in-tervention other than routine care. The level of comfort was significantly higher and the duration of crying lower in the infants from the amniotic fluid group as compared with control group before, during and after the procedure. The intervention of smelling amniotic fluid was found to be an effective practice that could be used for reducing the length of crying and increase comfort in preterm infants undergoing peripheral cannulation.
