Abstract: Objective To study the effect of moxibustion at acupuncture point Sanyinjiao on the pain of uterine contraction in normal delivery and the safety of mothers and infants.Methods To tally 210 prmiiparas were selected and divided into three groups with a randomly single blinded method:observation,blank and non point moxibustion control group. When cervical dilata tion being 2 3cm,we used moxibustion at Sanyinjiao and other point sepa rately for 30m in.Regulation of labor care was used for blank group.We compared the difference of uterine contraction pain and the safety of mothers and infants in the three groups.Results With the obsevation score of the doctors,the effective rate delivery analgesia of the observation group was 69.49%,higher than that of non point moxibustion control group(45.61%)and blank group (43.10%)with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).For the 15m in and 30m in pointm oxibustion,the visual analogue scale(VAS)scores of uterine contraction pain of the observation group were 88.661±7.508 and 87.542±7.330,less than that of non point moxibustion control group(91.825±7.300,92.246±7.209)and blank group(91 .897±8.454, 93.121±7.669),(P<0.05).The amount of bleeding a fter childbirth of the observation group(187.12±50.653 ml)was less than that of other two groups(216.67±54.456ml,214.90±54.787ml;P<0.05).The Apgar scores of new borns of the observation group(9.965±0.186)was higher than that of other two groups(9.949±0.289,9.707±0.593;P<0.05). Conclusion Moxibusting at Sanyinjiao can relieve delivery pain,reduce the amount of postpartum bleeding and has no harmfule ffects form others and infants.
