Sterile water injection for labour pain: a systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomised controlled trials

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Up to one-third of labouring women will experience painful 'back labour'. Sterile water injected lateral to the lumbosacral spine is a simple and well-researched approach to this pain. OBJECTIVE: To determine if sterile water injection for low back pain compared to placebo or alternative therapy increased or decreased the rate of Caesarean section.
