Download or read book A Comparison of Complimentary and Alternative Medicine Techniques for Pain Control During Labor written by Sara C. Livingston and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pain during pregnancy is inevitable. Controlling this pain in the safest and most effective manner should be a priority. The most common methods used today in delivery rooms around the United States may not be the safest options. Women need to be informed of the risks involved and should be made aware that there are other options. Complimentary and alternative medicine, despite its efficacy in controlling pain, is not being widely used in the United States to control labor pain. There have been limited studies on the use of acupuncture, acupressure and massage for controlling pain until recently, and even then no studies have been performed in the United States. The research proposed here will compare various complimentary and alternative medicine techniques used to manage pain during labor. This study will be a randomized double blind study that will take place in participating teaching hospitals throughout western Pennsylvania from August 2008 through August 2009. Participants will be recruited for the study through direct contact and announcements as well as advertisement posters throughout the outpatient clinics at the hospitals. The treatment groups will consist of an acupuncture group, an acupressure group, and a massage group. Each treatment group will have a corresponding control group.

Download or read book Acupuncture and Acupressure written by Patrick Lampard and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-29 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acupuncture and acupressure are both widely practiced forms of alternative medicine. Acupuncture is part of traditional Chinese medicine that requires the insertion of needles to pre-determined pressure points. Acupuncture and acupressure methods operate on muscles and muscle clusters to relieve tension and pain. Diagnosis of pain is made according to its acuteness and the response of the body to the same. In this book, using case studies and examples, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of acupuncture and acupressure as easy and informative as possible, for the readers. This book will be useful for students and researchers in the fields of alternative medicine, physiotherapy and pain management.
Download or read book Birth Settings in America written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.

Download or read book Basics of Acupuncture written by Gabriel Stux and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1987, our first book Acupuncture: Textbook and Atlas received rave reviews (e.g., in New England Journal of Medicine). This prompted us to write this smaller, affordable version in order to reach a wider audience. The smaller format has been so successful that we are now into our fourth revised edition. This has given us the opportunity to update and improve the book. For example, nu merous new references to scientific advances have been added. Also the section on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was ad ded because it gives a more complete picture of the current prac tice of acupuncture. Acupuncture has come a long way since our first book in 1987. There has been a surge of interest in treating drug addictions by ear acupuncture in 450 centers world wide. The treatment of nau sea and vomiting has been so well tested (scientifically) that the FDA (USA) is considering making this the major indication for acupuncture in America. Research into its efficacy for neurologi cal and pulmonary diseases is also gaining credibility. No longer is chronic pain the only scientifically acceptable use for acupuncture (based on the endorphin mechanism).

Download or read book Aromatherapy in Midwifery Practice written by Denise Tiran and published by Singing Dragon. This book was released on 2016-07-21 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aromatherapy is increasingly incorporated into midwifery practice, particularly in midwife-led units. It is the most commonly used therapy by midwives and birthing practitioners but access to up-to-date safety information is limited. Almost 90% of women may be using complementary therapies during pregnancy and birth and so it is very important that midwives are aware of safe and appropriate use based on contemporary evidence. This book covers safety, effectiveness, evidence, benefits and risks, and legal, ethical and professional issues related to incorporating aromatherapy into maternity care. Useful charts and tables are included for quick reference in clinical practice, making this is the ultimate handbook for using aromatherapy in midwifery practice. The scientific basis behind aromatherapy, including relevant anatomy and physiology, chemistry and pharmacology are covered, as well as a critical appraisal of the contemporary research evidence supporting the use of aromatherapy in maternity care. Essential oil profiles of the oils that can be safely used in pregnancy, birth and postnatally are also included.
