Child birth is a painful and stressful event in a woman life which is accompanied with fatigue, fear and negative feelings and as labor proceeds, the state worsens (Mortavazi, 2012).  The majority of pregnant women would prefer to experience labour without medical intervention, including pharmacological pain relief. The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of back massage to reduce lower-back pain in active phase of first stage of labour. A quasi-experimental design which involves both pre-test post-test control group design, an experimental group was used to study the effect of back massage intervention on  first stage in intrapartum women and no intervention in control group. Data were analyzed Paired sample t-test was used to compare the pre-test and post-test data.  Thus the hypotheses which stated that there is significant difference between the intervention group and the control group on were accepted. However, the hypotheses which stated that there is significant difference between the ntervention group and control group on hemoglobin levels were rejected. Thus, it can be concluded from the results of the present study that back massage has a significant effect in reducing back pain  in intrapartum.

Impaired postural control and balance and abnormal compensatory postural strategies are one of the pathogenetic mechanisms of development and chronicity of acute nonspecific neck and lower back pain. Stabilometry is a common and objective diagnostic technique that evaluates the postural control. The purpose is to determine the effectiveness of the alpha neurofeedback training for acute nonspecific neck and lower back pain, using the stabilometry. Material and methods. The study included 60 patients with acute nonspecific vertebrogenic pain. The patients were divided into two equal groups (30 people in each group) by random sampling depending on the treatment protocol. The neurofeedback technique and basic therapy was applied for patients of the main group while 30 patients of the control group had only basic therapy applied to them. All measurements were performed before and after treatment. Postural control was assessed using computerized posturography (stabilometry). Postural variables examined were the centre of pressure (CoP) location, CoP average sway, total CoP area sway, and CoP sway velocity. The effectiveness of treatment was assessed by the dynamics of postural stability, the pain score (VAS), the anxiety score (SCL-90-R) and the alpha rhythm index. Results. The intervention group displayed significant (p < 0,05) improvement in postural stability at the end of treatment. There were significant differences between the intervention and control groups in CoP average sway and total CoP area sway. Both groups exhibited a decrease in anxiety scale. Conclusions. The alpha neurofeedback training yielded improvements in posturography and pain outcomes. Our study also confirms the applicability of stabilometry in evaluating postural instability in patients with nonspecific neck and lower back pain.

Abstract Background Almost one-third of children under 5 years old in Indonesia suffer from stunting. Stunting can be prevented optimally during pregnancy as the initial phase of the first 1000 days of life. This study aims to determine the effect of nutrition and reproductive health education of pregnant women in Bogor Regency, Indonesia. Methods A quasi-experimental study was conducted among 194 pregnant women from August to November 2019. The pregnant women were randomly selected from four different villages in Bogor Regency. The intervention group (n = 97) received 2 h of nutrition and reproductive health education in small groups (four or five mothers per group) every 2 weeks for 3 consecutive months. This interactive education was given by facilitators using techniques such as lectures, role-playing, simulation, and games. The control group (n = 97) received regular health care services. A structured questionnaire was applied to collect data consisting of maternal characteristics, nutritional and reproductive health knowledge, attitudes, and practices in the intervention and control groups. Data were analysed using t-test and chi-square analysis. Results Pregnant women in the intervention group indicated a significant increase in knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding nutrition and reproductive health after receiving education. The pre-test and post-test mean scores in the intervention group were 55.1 and 83.1 for overall knowledge, 40.2 and 49.0 for attitudes, and 36.2 and 40.2 for practices, respectively. In the control group, there was no significant difference between the pre-test and post-test mean scores for these three variables. There was a significant difference (P < 0.001) in the post-test mean between the intervention group and the control group, but the difference was not significant (P > 0.05) in the pre-test. Conclusion Providing nutrition and reproductive health education through small groups with interactive methods improves the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of pregnant women. This intervention has the potential to be replicated and developed for large-scale implementation by optimising collaboration between government, non-governmental organizations, and maternal and child health service providers.

Background and Objectives: This study investigated the effects of prolonged sitting on trunk muscular fatigue and discomfort in participants with and without chronic lower back pain (LBP). Material and Methods: This study included 15 patients with LBP and 15 healthy controls. All participants were instructed to sit on a height-adjustable chair with their knee and hip joints bent at 90° for 30 min, in slumped sitting postures. Surface electromyography was used to assess the median frequency of the internal obliques (IO)/transversus abdominis (TrA) and multifidus (MF) muscles. Perceived discomfort was measured using a Borg category ratio-scale. Median frequency of the trunk muscles and perceived discomfort after 30 min of sitting were compared with baseline. Result: There were no significant differences within the group and between both groups in the median frequency of bilateral IO and MF muscles. The LBP group showed significantly greater perceived discomfort after prolonged sitting, as compared to the control group. Conclusions: Prolonged sitting with slumped posture could increase the risk of experiencing lower back discomfort.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the emotional and neurobehavioural status of patients suffering from chronic pain.METHODS: Fifteen male patients with chronic lower back pain and 15 healthy control subjects were studied for approximately six months. Pain was measured using a visual analogue scale. The WHO Neurobehavioral Core Test Battery (NCTB) was used to assess neurobehavioural effects of environmental and occupational exposures.RESULTS: Visual analogue scale results demonstrated a modest range of reported pain (mean [± SD] 62.0±10.8) in chronic pain patients, whereas control subjects reported no measurable pain. With the NCTB, it was found that scores of negative mood state, including anger-hostility, depression-dejection, fatigue-inertia and tension-anxiety in pain patients were significantly higher than scores in the control subjects. By contrast, scores of positive mood state (vigour-activity) in chronic pain patients were lower than those in the control group. The NCTB scores of the Santa Ana Dexterity and Pursuit Aiming II tests in chronic lower back pain patients were lower than those of the control group. Scores for other NCTB sub-tests, including the Digit Span, Benton Visual Retention and Digit Symbol tests, were not significantly different compared with controls.CONCLUSIONS: Chronic lower back pain patients had more negative mood and less positive mood than controls. These patients also demonstrated neuromotor deficits in coordination and reaction time. Further studies are required to examine possible neurological mechanisms and research potential intervention strategies for patients suffering from chronic pain.
