Effects of training prior to music therapy-assisted childbirth on labor pain and delivery outcomes in parturients.
Trial report in European journal of medical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the impact of training prior to music therapy-assisted childbirth on labor pain and delivery outcomes in parturients.
methodsWe randomly selected 100 parturients who gave birth in our hospital from October 2020 to December 2021. Using the random number table method, these 100 women were divided into the intervention group and control group. The control group was provided with routine prenatal guidance. The intervention group was also provided with routine prenatal guidance along with prenatal training for music therapy-assisted childbirth (MTACB) that started in week 28 of pregnancy. Both groups underwent MTACB with specialist midwives instructing them during labor. The degree of labor pain and delivery outcomes were compared between the two groups using the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale for assessing labor pain versus perineal laceration and bleeding volume at two hours after delivery, for assessing the delivery outcomes.
resultsAt two hours after delivery, the intervention group had significantly lesser labor pain, parturient lateral episiotomy rates, perineal laceration rates, and bleeding volume than the control group (P < 0.05). Based on how they felt, the participants in the intervention group reported that they were getting sufficient rest.
conclusionParturients who have undergone MTACB prenatal training respond better to MTACB, experience less labor pain, and have a decreased risk of negative delivery outcomes. Training prior to MTACB makes the childbirth less challenging.
