Analgesia and Pain Management01:25

Analgesia and Pain Management

Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia

Epidural anesthetics are administered in the fat-filled epidural space, the outermost part of the spinal canal. This technique is commonly employed for pain management and anesthesia during lower abdomen and pelvis surgeries or labor and delivery.
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Complementary and Alternative Medicine
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Labor pain significantly impacts maternal comfort and the birth experience.
  • The Rebozo technique is a traditional non-pharmacological intervention for labor support.
  • Existing evidence on the Rebozo technique's effect on labor pain is fragmented.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and synthesize evidence on the Rebozo technique's efficacy in reducing labor pain intensity.
  • To evaluate the Rebozo technique as a non-pharmacological pain management strategy during childbirth.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review following PRISMA guidelines, searching PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Garuda (2020-2025).
  • Included quantitative studies (RCTs, quasi-experimental) with intrapartum women, focusing on pain intensity.
  • Narrative synthesis applied due to heterogeneity; study quality appraised using JBI Critical Appraisal Tools.

Main Results:

  • Ten studies with 537 participants met inclusion criteria.
  • The Rebozo technique significantly reduced labor pain intensity compared to standard care (p-values 0.000-0.016).
  • Effectiveness was particularly noted during the active phase of labor.

Conclusions:

  • The Rebozo technique is an effective, safe, and adaptable non-pharmacological approach for managing labor pain.
  • Limitations include study heterogeneity and limited generalizability due to geographical focus (Indonesia, Türkiye).
  • Further research with standardized protocols and broader outcome measures is recommended.
