Study tests whether a friendly face in the delivery room eases labor pain
NCT ID NCT07539376
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether allowing a support person (like a family member or friend) to stay with a woman during labor can reduce her anxiety and pain and increase her satisfaction. Researchers at a Jordanian hospital randomly assigned 150 low-risk pregnant women to either have a support person present or receive standard care alone. The goal is to see if simple social support makes childbirth less stressful and more positive.

Presence of a support person during labor
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that allowing a family member or friend in the delivery room improves mothers' comfort and birth experience.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-hospital study in Jordan, so results may not apply elsewhere. The intervention is simply having someone present, not a medical treatment.
