Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the association between increased fetal movements during prenatal treatment with acupuncture and the duration of labor in order to distinguish between responders and non-responders.

Design: Case-control study.

Setting: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Vienna, Austria.

Subjects: Group A consisted of 192 women with increased fetal movements during acupuncture (AP); group B consisted of 76 women with no reaction. During each treatment session, fetal movements were noted by the women with a visual analogue scale. Positive response to AP-treatment was registered when at least three times during four treatment sessions an increased fetal movement was noted.

Results: Median duration of the first stage of labor was 204 min (range 40–495) in group A and 321 min (range 90–685) in group B (P < 0.0001). Median duration of the second stage of labor was 53 min (range 19–165) in group A and 88 minutes (range 10–259) in group B (P < 0.0001).

Conclusion: Our study indicates that increased fetal movements could be a marker for successful prenatal treatment with acupuncture.

胎动增加——针灸产前治疗成功的标志?

目的:评价针刺产前治疗中胎动增加与分娩时间的关系，以区分有反应和无反应。设计:病例对照研究。单位:奥地利维也纳妇产科。受试者:A组包括192名在针灸(AP)期间胎动增加的妇女;B组76名妇女无反应。在每次治疗期间，妇女用视觉模拟量表记录胎儿运动。在4个疗程中，至少3次观察到胎儿运动增加时，对ap治疗有积极反应。结果:A组第一产程中位持续时间为204 min(范围40-495)，B组为321 min(范围90-685)(P <0.0001)。第二产程中位持续时间A组为53分钟(范围19-165)，B组为88分钟(范围10-259)(P <0.0001)。结论:我们的研究表明胎动增加可能是针灸产前治疗成功的标志。
