Effect of Anrou-pressing and kneading Hegu (LI 4) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6) on uterine inertia during painless parturition / 针灸推拿医学（英文版）

Objective: To observe the effect of Anrou-pressing and kneading Hegu (LI 4) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6) on uterine inertia during painless parturition. Methods: A total of 100 cases of patients with uterine inertia during painless parturition were randomized into an acupoint group and a medicine group by the SPSS programming, with 50 cases in each group. Patients in the acupoint group received the treatment of Anrou-pressing and kneading bilateral Hegu (LI 4) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6), while patients in the medicine group received intravenous oxytocin. The labor time and maternal-child safety were evaluated, and the labor stage was compared. Results: The latent and active phases in the 1st labor stage and the 2nd labor stage in the acupoint group were substantially shorter than those in the medicine group, and the between-group comparisons showed statistical significance (all P<0.05). The between-group comparison of the 3rd labor stage showed no statistical significance (P>0.05). The postpartum hemorrhage amount in both groups was within the safe range, and the between-group comparison showed no statistical significance (P>0.05). The newborn 1 min Apgar score was ranged 8-10 points, and the between-group comparison showed no statistical significance (P>0.05). The between-group comparison of the labor stage efficacy showed statistical significance (P<0.01), with a better progression in the acupoint group. Conclusion: Anrou-pressing and kneading Hegu (LI 4) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6) is both effective and safe for uterine inertia during painless parturition.
