Abstract

Background                   

Labour is a natural process that requires minimal assistance, but due to the altered anatomy and physiology, it may suddenly become abnormal and even fatal. Labour is vastly described in Ayurveda as Prasava and its being practised since centuries. Application of the Ayurvedic concept of labour and its practices is the need of hour in prevention of un toward complications of labour.

Design           

This was a randomized comparative clinical study. It included 40 patients assigned into two groups, Group A and Group B each with 40 patients respectively. Group A patients were administered Krishnavacha Lepa mixed with Eranda Taila Lepa and in Group B, Vaasamoola Lepa was applied after attaining the true labour pain in the first stage of labour with proper operative procedures.   

Results

Repeated measures analysis of variance (RMANOVA) with Bonferroni showed significant changes both between and within the groups. Krishna Vacha Eranda Taila Lepa showed significant changes compared to Vaasamoola Lepa with (p≤0.05) in Cervical effacement, Cervical Position, Cervical Dilatation, Cervical Consistency, Head Station, Number of contractions and Duration of contractions.

Conclusion            

Krishna Vacha Eranda Taila Lepa application was more effective compared to Vaasamoola Lepa in the management of first stage of Prasava in patients with true labour pain.
