Abstract

During labor, myometrial contractions can be painful. Labor pain is an unpleasant process and can increase uncoordinated uterine activity and prolong the labor process thereby endangering the life of the fetus and mother. Non-pharmacological efforts to reduce pain can use counter pressure/deep back massage techniques by placing pressure on the back pain area or sacrum. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of counter pressure/deep back massage in reducing pain levels in mothers giving birth based on literature analysis. The method used is a narrative review through searches from the PubMed, Garuda and Science Direct databases. Review articles using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) method with 4 stages, namely identification, screening, feasibility, and acceptable results. The search results identified 579 articles, then they were screened and 32 articles were found, then at the feasibility stage 7 articles were found and it was decided that these 7 articles could be accepted. The results of the article review found that counter pressure massage and deep back massage can stimulate the body to release endorphins which act as pain relievers and provide a relaxing condition for the mother, thereby increasing circulation in the genital area and improving cervical elasticity. In conclusion, counter pressure massage and deep back massage are effective in reducing the pain level of women giving birth during the first active phase. Counter pressure massage is considered more effective than deep back massage.

Abstract

Evidence suggests that cold therapy (cold spray) may be recommended with low confidence for reducing swelling in acute soft tissue injuries among athletes. However, the effect of cold therapy on the mechanical function of muscles remains unclear. This study aims to explore the effects of cold therapy application as a treatment strategy to reduce pan in acute sport injuries. Data collection was conducted in April 2024. We present a case of an acute knee injury in a 16-year-old male during a football tournament. He reported pain with a VAS score of 8 (on a scale of 1 to 10). The patient received cold spray as first aid for his knee injury. However, reassessment revealed that the pain level did not decrease. Several factors may influence the effectiveness of cold spray in reducing pain, including the type of affected nerve fibers, duration of the intervention, history of repeated injuries, size of the injured area, and improper spraying technique. Cold spray is effective in reducing pain and inflammation in superficial tissues. However, in acute injuries involving deeper tissues, cold spray does not significantly alter the pain level. Its effectiveness in reducing inflammatory responses in deeper tissues remains uncertain and warrants further investigation. Keywords: acute pain, cold therapy, foot injury

Abstract

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) level tinggi dapat menyebabkan gangguan pada pernapasan yang dapat mengancam nyawa pasien. One of the interventions that can be given to individuals with SCI in reducing complications of respiratory problems is Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT). Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT) is a technique that aims to improve the function of the respiratory muscles through specific exercises. This study determined the effectiveness of respiratory muscle training in spinal cord injury patients with respiratory problems. This literature review used several databases such as Google Scholar, Pubmed, Ebsco, Sciencedirect, CINAHL, and SAGE with inclusion criteria Articles published less than five years (2018-2022), English, Full text, Systematic review/meta-analysis/RCT. The results indicate that this RMT intervention's effectiveness on respiratory muscles and lung function depends on the characteristics of SCI patients. There were six articles used for the review of this paper. The results show that this respiratory muscle training intervention's effectiveness impacts respiratory muscles and lung function depending on the characteristics of the spinal cord injury patient himself. Furthermore, the results suggest that this RMT intervention's efficacy on respiratory muscle and lung function depends on the features of the SCI patient
