Description

Uma Phalswal, Sujata Jha, Priyanshi Dixit, and Raksha Yadav review a 2024 topic on birthing ball exercises in labor. Nurses and midwives use the balls to ease labor pain and lift comfort without a spinal drug. Past trials were scattered, so the team screened three databases by fixed rules.

Eight sound studies passed the quality check. In each, ball users scored far less pain on a ten-point scale than non-users. Labor gains showed too: wider opening in two studies, faster head descent in three, and shorter labor in four. Comfort gains round out the case.
