Effect of acupuncture at Hegu (LI4), Taichong (LR3) and Sanyinjiao (SP6) on labor stage in primiparas
摘要
目的:
2
观察针刺合谷、太冲、三阴交对初产妇疼痛、焦虑、产时出血量、产程时间和新生儿的影响。
方法:
2
将100例初产妇随机分为针刺组(50例,剔除1例)和对照组(50例)。对照组给予产科常规护理;针刺组在对照组基础上给予针刺双侧合谷、三阴交、太冲干预。比较两组产妇分娩方式和产程时间,针刺前后宫缩痛视觉模拟量表(VAS)及汉密尔顿焦虑量表(HAMA)评分,产时及产后1 h出血量与大出血情况,以及新生儿出生后1、5、10 min Apgar评分。
To evaluate the effects of acupuncture at Hegu (LI4)
Taichong (LR3) and Sanyinjiao (SP6) on pain
anxiety
intrapartum blood loss
labor stage
and neonatal outcomes in primiparas.
Methods
2
One hundred primiparas were randomly divided into an acupuncture group (50 cases
1 case was eliminated) and a control group (50 cases). The conventional obstetrical nursing was given in the control group. On the basis of the intervention in the control group
acupuncture was applied at bilateral Hegu (LI4)
Taichong (LR3) and Sanyinjiao (SP6) in the acupuncture group. The delivery mode and labor stage
the scores of visual analogue scale (VAS) for uterine contraction pain and Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) before and after acupuncture
the intrapartum/postpartum blood loss and massive hemorrhage
as well as the neonatal Apgar score after 1
5
and 10 min of birth
were compared in the two groups.
Results
2
The cesarean section rate was 4.1% (2/49) in the acupuncture group
which was superior to 10.0% (
5/50) in the control group (
P
<
0.05). In the acupuncture group
the time of latent phase of 2-cm cervical dilation
active phase
first and second stages of labor
and total labor stage was shorter than that in the control group (
P
<
0.001)
the intrapartum blood loss and massive hemorrhage rate were lower than those in the control group (
P
<
0.001
P
<
0.05). After acupuncture
the VAS and HAMA scores were decreased compared with those before acupuncture in the acupuncture group (
P
<
0.001)
the VAS and HAMA scores were increased compared with those before acupuncture in the control group (
P
<
0.001). In the acupuncture group
the VAS and HAMA scores after acupuncture were lower than those in the control group (
P
<
0.001)
the changes of the VAS and HAMA scores before and after acupuncture were larger than those in the control group (
P
<
0.001). There were no statistical differences in neonatal Apgar scores between the two groups (P
>
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Acupuncture at Hegu (LI4)
Taichong (LR3) and Sanyinjiao (SP6) can effectively alleviate the pain and anxiety
shorten the labor stage
reduce the intrapartum blood loss and incidence rate of massive hemorrhage
and promote spontaneous delivery
thereby enhancing maternal comfort and safety in primiparas.
