Labor pain is a complex, multidimensional experience that intensifies as labor progresses and may lead to adverse physiological, psychological, and emotional consequences for both the mother and the fetus if not effectively managed. While pharmacological pain relief methods are effective, they may be associated with maternal and neonatal side effects and are not always accessible. Therefore, safe, low-cost, and non-pharmacological pain management strategies are of growing interest in maternity care.\n\nThe study will be conducted in a hospital labor ward and will include low-risk primiparous women aged 18-35 years who are admitted for vaginal birth. A total of 86 participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. Women in the intervention group will receive a soft hand exercise ring and will be instructed to use it in conjunction with guided breathing exercises during uterine contractions, starting at 4-5 cm cervical dilation and continuing throughout the active phase of labor. During each contraction, participants will squeeze the hand exercise ring while exhaling and release it during relaxation periods between contractions. This intervention is designed to reduce pain perception through distraction, activation of the gate control mechanism, increased endorphin release, and regulation of the autonomic nervous system via controlled breathing.\n\nThe control group will receive routine intrapartum care without any additional pain management intervention. Outcome measures include labor pain intensity assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), anxiety levels measured with the State Anxiety Inventory (STAI Form TX-1), and childbirth satisfaction evaluated using the Maternal Satisfaction with Childbirth Scale. Pain and anxiety will be assessed at three stages of cervical dilation (4-5 cm, 6-7 cm, and 8-9 cm), while childbirth satisfaction will be assessed six hours postpartum.\n\nThe findings of this study are expected to contribute evidence regarding the effectiveness of a simple, non-invasive, and easily applicable intervention for labor pain management, potentially supporting its integration into routine midwifery care to improve women's childbirth experiences.",[27,57],"Midwifery","2026-01-28",{"date":60,"type":34},"2026-01-30",{"date":62,"type":21},"2026-05-15",{"date":64,"type":21},"2027-01-15",{"name":66,"class":41},"Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa",1,{"id":69,"slug":70,"hasResults":11,"nctId":71,"briefTitle":72,"officialTitle":73,"acronym":74,"eligibilityCriteria":75,"healthyVolunteers":49,"sex":17,"minAge":50,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":76,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":78,"briefSummary":79,"conditions":80,"keywords":81,"overallStatus":30,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":88,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":89,"startDateStruct":91,"completionDateStruct":93,"leadSponsor":95,"locationsCount":67},"100608489","spoken-animation-for-labour-epidural-100608489","NCT07202221","Spoken Animation for Labour Epidural","Evaluation of Spoken Animation as a Tool for Imparting Information About Epidural Labour Analgesia","SALE","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n• Primiparous birthing people presenting for induction of labour.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patient refusal\n* Unable to speak English or any of the seven language translations provided\n* Epidural contraindicated\n* Previous Epidural for any reason\n* Any significant health concerns",{"count":77,"type":21},120,[24],"The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new animated information film as a tool for introducing the concept of epidural as a method of labour pain relief to expectant women.\n\nThe main question that the study is designed to answer is:\n\nCompared to written information alone, does the addition on a short animated introductory film reduce decisional conflict for expectant women regarding the use of epidural pain relief.\n\nSecondary outcomes tested will be change in anxiety and satisfaction scores after receiving the information.\n\nStudy participants will include women expecting their first baby, presenting to hospital for induction of labour.
