Abstract
Background: The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of Vedic chants on Anxiety and Pain Score in Laboring Parturients with Ambulatory Epidural Labor Analgesia. Material & Methods: A total of 38 patients with full term live cephalic singleton pregnancy in active labor with cervical dilatation 0-4cm with a request for ambulatory labor analgesia admitted in department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Dr. RPGMC Kangra at Tanda were participated in this study. We randomized the patients in two groups A and B. Both groups received epidural labor analgesia with 0.1% ropivacaine and 1.5ug/ml of fentanyl. Patients in group A were made to listen Vedic chants (Gayatri mantra) in 4 sessions of 30min each with 15mins break in between the sessions. In group B, patients received only ambulatory epidural labor analgesia without listening to Vedic chants. These two groups were observed for the various parameters till the delivery of the baby. Results: The two groups were comparable in terms of age, height, weight, BMI, occupation, parity, POG, mean cervical dilatation and contractions per 5minutes at the time of administration of labor analgesia and were statistically non-significant (p >0.05). We inferred that the mean anxiety score(AASPWL) was significantly lower in the group A (2.43±0.11), which received Vedic chants as music therapy along with epidural labor analgesia in comparison to the group B (3.44±0.13) who did not receive Vedic chants as music therapy. The difference between two groups was statistically highly significant (p <0.001).Parturients in both group A and B were supplemented with adequate epidural analgesia with 0.1% ropivacaine and 1.5 ug/ml fentanyl, resulting in pain scores (VAS-P) below 3 and difference was statistically non-significant (p >0.05). Conclusion: In our study, anxiety scores were drastically reduced by Vedicchants (Gayatri mantra) as music therapy, in comparison to control group.
