Efficacy Of Foot Reflexology on Labour Pain Among Primigravid Women at Selected Hospitals in Kanpur City: A True experimental Study.

Nursing

Intense and prolonged pain is sometimes associated with labour. The level of pain reported by labouring women varies greatly. According to studies, everyone perceives pain the same way. The level of perceived pain is also influenced by factors beyond the woman's control during labour. Labor pain can put women off giving birth naturally. However, there are a number of non-pharmacological pain relief methods that will keep the body drug-free during labour. Foot Reflexology is a non-pharmacological pain relief technique. Massage and pressure are applied to points on the feet that correspond to various organs and systems in the body. Some women (and caregivers) will use specific foot reflexology points for labour pain throughout the woman's labor.
