ABSTRACT
One of the most painful experiences of women in life is labor. The use of non-drug methods for pain relief is on the increase. This study aimed to compare mono-stage and bi-stage acupressure at sp6 point on the severity of labor pain and the delivery outcome. This is a quasi-experimental single blind study from December 2010 to June 2011 in which 150 term pregnant women in labor pain were divided into 3 acupressure groups of mono-stage and bi-stage at sp6 point at 3-4 and 7-8 cm dilatation and control group. The intervention was carried out for a period of 20 minutes. Pain severity was evaluated before, immediately, 30 and 60 minutes after the intervention by Visual Analog Scale [VAS]. The pain severity after the intervention in 3-4 cm dilatation in the intervention group was'less than that of the control group [P=0.001] but the two groups of intervention did not differ from each other [P=0.94]. In 7-8 cm dilatation, the pain severity was reduced only in the bi-stage intervention group [P=0.001]. The duration of the 2nd stage and the rate of Cesarean section was lesser in the intervention groups [P=0.022]. Exerting pressure at sp6 point is effective in pain reduction, duration of labor and the rate of Cesarean section. Pain relief in bi-stage intervention was more than that of mono-stage. Therefore, it is used as an effective way to reduce maternal pain
