Impact of the Puncture of the RP6 Point on the Ampliation and Injuries of the Perineum During Childbirth
Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Sud Francilien
Summary
During the study period, any patient who enters labour and reports to the maternity ward and meets the inclusion and non-inclusion criteria is offered to participate in the study by the midwife acupuncturist present. After signing the informed consent, a numbered envelope with the randomization arm is assigned to the patient. The acupuncturist midwife does not perform the delivery herself. At the time of the expulsive efforts, she punctures the point drawn at random. The patient's participation in the study ends when she leaves the labour room after the birth.
