Introduction: Most women in first stage of labor complain of low back pain. Nowadays. alternative methods are at interest for pain relief because there are respiratory complications for newborn, and increased mortality and morbidity for mother when pharmacological methods are used. One of the alternative methods is injection of a solution locally to painful area, which is simple with no risk for mother and fetus and has low expense. Studies had shown different results about this technique. So we decided to investigate its effectiveness.
Materials and Methods: This survey is a single blind randomized clinical trial. Sampling method was simple random. 140 mothers were selected which were sat in 2 groups (70 in case group, and 70 in control group). Instruments of data collection were questionnaire, pain ruler , insulin syringe , sterile water and check list. After selecting four injection areas of sacrom, sterile water(0.1 ml) was injected in case group, and control group had dry injection. Then in 10th, 30th, 45th, 90th minutes post injection pain was estimated in both groups .SPSS software and paired t-test and t-student were used for data analyzing.
Results: Data showed that the mean of pain, 10 minutes after injection was significantly increased in case group in comparison with control group (p=0.001). Also in 30th minute after injections pain was increased significantly (p=0.004). The difference between mean of pain before injection and 45 and 90 minutes after that in case group was significant (0.005).
Conclusion: Data showed that subcutaneous injection of sterile water in sacral area did not decrease pain and only lowered the rate of increasing pain. Regarding the effects of many factors for example anxiety, labor environment, culture and parental education on pain perception, using a specific method for relieving pain may be unsuccessful and it may be better to use a combination of alternative methods.
