Abstract
Background : According to the potential side effects of analgesics and anaesthetic drugs to control the labour pains, it is possible to replace non-medical method for palliative treatment. The purpose of this research is to assess the effect of acupressure in spleen point 6 (SP6) on the amount of analgesic drug taking during labour.
Materials and Method : We conducted one sided blind randomized clinical trial in 2008. 131 term pregnant women randomly selected and divided into three groups including one experimental group (pressure on SP6:41 persons) and two control groups (SP6 touch: 41 cases and common care: 49 persons). The data has been analyzed by using the descriptive and inferential statistics by SPSS-16 software.
Results : Comparing the average amounts of the consumed drug between three groups showed a significant decrease in the experimental group more than the other two control groups ( p =0.006). The average amount of consumed p ethidine in the experimental group showed a significant decrease (p =0.02).
Conclusion : The findings of our study showed that the pressure on SP6 is an effective method to decrease the amount of analgesic consumption in labor specially pethidine.
