Background: Labor and childbirth is an extremely painful process. Aromatherapy is considered as one of the nonpharmacological methods to reduce labor pain.Objective: To determine the effect of Lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia) aromatherapy on the level of pain in primipara in the first stage of labor.Methods: A quasy-experimental research with pretest and posttest design with control group conducted between October until November 2016. Forthy respondents selected using consecutive sampling, which 20 assigned in each group. a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) pain scale was used. Paired and independent t-test were used for data analyses.Results: The results showed that the p-value of labor pain after intervention was 0.000 (<0.05), which indicated that there was statistically mean difference of labor pain between intervention (6.10) and control group (4.05) in primipara in the first active stage of labor.Conclusion: The women in the lavender aromatherapy group reported lower intensity of labor pain. The intervention study could be practiced in the community health centers for pregnant women in order for them to apply this healing method.

Background: Pain during pregnancy and childbirth is a physiological process, but it leads to discomfort without pain management. Acupressure and effleurage are considered to be effective in reducing labor pain.Objective: To examine the effect of acupressure and effleurage in reducing pain during in the active phase of the first stage of labor in the community health center of Kawunganten, Cilacap regency.Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest control group design. There were 33 respondents recruited using simple random sampling. Numerical rating scale was used to measure labor pain. Data were analyzed using one way anova, Post hoc anova and repeated anova for normal data distribution. Kruskal Wallis was also used for non-normal data distribution.Results: There was a statistically significant mean difference of pain scale before and after given acupressure and effleurage (p-value <0.05). However, acupressure treatment had a greater effect  in reducing pain compared with effleurage.Conclusion: Acupressure and efflurage had a significant effect in reducing pain in mothers in the active phase of the first stage of labor. The results of this study are expected to enrich and contribute to the development of science in the field of health promotion, and  serve as an additional input for midwives in order to carry out the care of mother during labor.

Nyeri persalinan dapat menimbulkan stres yang menyebabkan pelepasan hormon yang berlebihan seperti katekolamin dan steroid. Hormon ini dapat menyebabkan terjadinya ketegangan otot polos dan vasokontriksi pembuluh darah. Hal ini dapat mengakibatkan penurunan kontraksi uterus,penurunan sirkulasi utero plasenta, pengurangan aliran darah dan oksigen ke uterus, serta timbulnya iskemia uterus yang membuat impuls nyeri bertambah banyak akupresur, stimulasi kulit dapat memberi efek penurunan nyeri yang efektif. Tehnik akupresur dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai menurunkan rasa nyeri pada saat persalinan. Tujuannya adalah  untuk mengetahui pengaruh  pemberian tehnik akupresur terhadap nyeri persalinan kala I pada ibu primapara. Jenis penelitian ini adalah Pre eksperiment dengan rancangan pre and post test design.  Populasi adalah  ibu bersalin kala I primipara di ruang Widya Rumah Sakit Ciremai Cirebon Tahun 2016, Sampel menggunakan tehnik total sampling dengan jumlah sampel 22 responden.

Aromatherapy can be used to reduce post-sectio caesaria (SC) pain. In this study, the aromatherapy used was orange essential oil. This quasi-experimental study used a pre and posttest design with control group. The sample of the study was 74 mothers with 24 hours post-SC. The treatment group was the mothers who were given orange essential oil aromatherapy (37 people), while the control group was those who were not given (37 people). Sampling technique used consecutive sampling. Data collection about the characteristics of the respondents was done using a questionnaire, while the measurement of pain was carried out using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) observation sheet. The analysis consisted of bivariate analysis with Wilcoxon test. There was a decrease in the pain scale in the treatment group after being given aromatherapy essential oil orange from 4.14 ± 1.669 to 2.59 ± 1.334 (p-value = 0.000). In the control group, the change was from 2.86 ± 0.419 to 2.78 ± 0.479 (p-value = 0.373). This meant that the treatment group showed higher reduced pain than the control group. Therefore, orange essential oil aromatherapy was effective in reducing pain scale 24 hours post-SC.

An effective and safe remedy for shoulder pain is needed as shoulder pain is a common complication of stroke and restricts recovery of patients. This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of Ouhyul herbal acupuncture point injection (O-API) on shoulder pain in patients with stroke. Twenty-four participants with shoulder pain after stroke were recruited and randomized to the O-API and control groups. Treatment was conducted for 2 weeks three times per week. We evaluated the effects of treatment with a numerical rating scale (NRS), painless passive range of motion (PROM) of external shoulder rotation, and the Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment (FMMA) at baseline, each week, and 1 week after the final treatment. All measures were similar between the O-API and control groups at baseline. The O-API group showed significant improvement on the NRS compared with that in the control group after 2 weeks of treatment, and the treatment effect was maintained until the follow-up period. PROM decreased significantly in both groups, but the reduction was maintained only in the O-API group. No significant difference was observed on the FMMA between the two groups. O-API resulted in significant improvement in shoulder pain after stroke, and its effect was maintained after termination of treatment without any severe side effects.

Rasa nyeri pada persalinan adalah manifestasi dari adanya kontraksi (pemendekan) otot rahim. Kontraksi inilah yang menimbulkan rasa sakit pada pinggang, daerah perut dan menjalar kearah paha. Nyeri persalinan disebabkan adanya regangan segmen bawah rahim dan servik serta adanya ischemia otot rahim. Beberapa pengelolaan nyeri persalinan secara farmakologis sebagian besar merupakan tindakan medis. Salah satu metode yang sangat efektif dalam menanggulangi rasa nyeri adalah dengan massage effleurage yang merupakan salah satu metode non farmakologi yang dilakukan untuk mengurangi nyeri persalinan.

Introduction: Multimodal analgesia with opioids as the prime component is the mainstay of postoperative analgesia for mastectomy, which can lead to many opioid related unwanted side-effects. Esmolol infusion has been found as a useful adjunct in reducing opioid requirements. Aim: To find the effect of perioperative esmolol infusion on postoperative pain and opioid requirements. Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study was done in 140 American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) physical status l and ll patients, between 20-65 years of age posted for mastectomy under general anaesthesia. Esmolol group (group E) received 0.25 mg/kg of esmolol bolus ten minutes before induction followed by continuous infusion 5 μg/kg/min till end of surgery while control group (group C) received equivalent volumes of saline. Primary outcome measures were Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for pain, total postoperative opioid consumption and time to first rescue analgesic dosage till 24 hours. Intraoperative haemodynamics and other side-effects were secondary outcomes. Descriptive statistics of numerical rating scores and analgesic requirements were analysed in terms of mean and standard deviation. Independent t-test was used to compare numerical rating scores and analgesic requirement of the two groups. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The mean numerical pain scores were significantly lower in the esmolol group for the first 24 hour. The mean time to first rescue analgesic was 17.59±5.012 hour in the esmolol group and 8.21±2.22 hour in the control group which was statistically significant (p<0.001). The total tramadol consumption was also significantly lesser in the esmolol group (42.14±29.03 mg), compared to control group (102.86±22.3 mg), (p=0.0001). Mean heart rate was statistically lower in the esmolol group, but there was no incidence of bradycardia requiring treatment. Mean Arterial Pressures (MAP) were comparable. Conclusion: Perioperative esmolol infusion when used as an adjunct to morphine decreased postoperative pain and analgesic requirements for the first 24 hours without any haemodynamic disturbances.
