Summary
This study looked at whether therapeutic touch (a gentle, non-medical hands-on technique) can help first-time mothers feel less pain and anxiety during labour. 80 women were split into two groups: one received therapeutic touch during delivery, the other received standard care. Researchers measured pain, anxiety levels, and attitudes toward childbirth using simple questionnaires and pain scales.
