“…Gonenc and Terzioglu declared that there were no significant differences between the acupressure and massage groups and the control group in terms of delivery time [19] that is similar to the result of this study. Sulistiningsih et al (2022) reported a significant reduction in duration of labor, in contrary to the current study [12].…”

Background Managing labor pain by performing massage is one of the useful strategies to reduce the rate of cesarean section and increase the tendency of women for pregnancy. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the best time for massage therapy to reduce the labor pain and anxiety. In this regard, the present study was conducted to determine the cervical dilatation appropriate for performing massage in order to reduce the labor pain and anxiety. Methods This randomized clinical trial study was conducted on 60 nulliparous pregnant women. Eligible participants with active phase of labor were divided randomly into two groups. The intervention group received the massage three times in of dilatation 5–7–9 cm for 20 min each time by same person without the use of oil in the LDR, based on Kimber massage instructions. In the control group, all routine care was performed except massage. Pain intensity was assessed using pain ruler. Demographic and anxiety data were collected through questionnaires. Results The difference between the mean pains in the studied groups was significant in 7 cm (p < 0.0001) of cervical dilatation but was not significant in 5 cm (p = 0.084) and 9 cm (p = 0.591) dilatation. Massage effectively decreased pain intensity. The mean maternal anxiety was not significant at the beginning of the study, but was significant after performing massage (p < 0.0001) and anxiety score in the massage group decreased from 63.36 ± 5.28 (severe anxiety) at the beginning to 42.60 ± 5.83 (moderate anxiety) at the end of the study. In the control group, it increased from 66.33 ± 7.66 to 67.1 ± 5.65. Conclusion The appropriate dilatation of cervix for massage in order to reduce labor pain was observed in 7 cm. Also, massage had a significant effect on reducing anxiety. Therefore, massage is recommended as a routine care in 7 cm cervical dilatations. Trial registration This trial was registered with the Iran Trial Center (trial ID: IRCT20140118016255N5). https://en.irct.ir/trial/28120

“…Baljon et al in 2022 declared that massage lowered labor pain intensity and anxiety [11]. In another study combination of pelvic rocking and back massage had a significant effect on pain and duration of labor [12]. Performing massage also accompanied by fewer requests for epidural analgesia [13].…”

“…In another study conducted in primiparous pregnant women, when the effect of pelvic swing exercises and back massage combination on labor pain was examined, the duration of labor was found shortened and labor pain was reduced. 54 Studies have reported that pregnant women using a birth ball have signi cantly lower levels of pain compared to other pregnant women [11,22,34]. In studies examining the effect of birth ball on birth outcomes, labor pain was found to be lower in pregnant women who used a birth ball during labor compared to those who did not.55,56 In the study examining the effect of the birth ball used with breathing techniques in the rst stage of labor on labor pain, it was found that the combined method reduced labor pain in the intervention group [54].…”

This study aimed to examine the effect of birth ball exercise on labor pain, delivery duration, birth comfort, and birth satisfaction. MethodsThe study used a randomized controlled trial design. All 120 primipara pregnant women were randomly assigned to the intervention (IG) and control groups (CG). After the cervical dilatation reached at 4 cm, the pregnant women in the IG performed birth ball exercises, adhering to the birth ball guide created by the researcher. No intervention was made in the control group other than standard midwifery care practices. ResultsThe labor pain level between the groups (VAS 1-when cervical dilatation was 4 cm) was similar to each other. The labor pain level (VAS 2-when cervical dilatation was 9 cm) scores of the women in the IG were signi cantly lower than those in the CG (p < 0.05). The time between the active phase of labor until dilatation is complete and the time until the baby's head comes out after full dilatation was found to be statistically signi cantly shorter in the IG compared to the CG (p < 0.05). Childbirth comfort and satisfaction mean scores between the groups were found to be statistically insigni cant (p > 0.05). ConclusionAs a result of the study, it was determined that the birth ball exercise signi cantly reduced labor pain and labor time. We recommend that the birth ball exercise be applied to all low-risk pregnant women because it helps fetal descent and cervical dilatation, and shortens labor pain and delivery time.What does this study adds to the clinical work Birth ball exercise in labor is a viable tool because it has signi cant positive effects on the birth process.Birth ball exercise in labor is an effective tool in reducing labor pain.Birth ball exercise in labor shortened the labor time.More studies should be done to determine the bene ts of birth ball exercise in labor

Conclusion As a result of the study, it was determined that the birth ball exercise significantly reduced labor pain and labor time. We recommend that the birth ball exercise be applied to all low-risk pregnant women because it helps fetal descent and cervical dilatation, and shortens labor pain and delivery time.
