Abstract

Background: Severe pain can be experienced by women during menstruation which results in the disruption of daily activities and is not productive, therefore therapy is needed to reduce the pain. Regional counter-pressure therapy has been shown to reduce pain levels, but the pressure applied to the regiosacral area can cause inflammation. Therefore, there is a need for research that can detect the inflammatory process. TNF-α levels are an indicator of the inflammatory process.

Aim: This study aims to describe the level of TNF- as the impact of pressure applied during Regiosacral Counter-Pressure therapy in reducing the level of labor pain.

Methods: Research design using Coasy Experiment, the population and sample in this study were 51 women who experienced pain during menstruation who were selected with a purposive sample. The criteria are young women who experience pain during menstruation, do not take pain-reducing drugs, are not in a condition of pain/fever, and are not experiencing chronic pain. TNF-α levels were taken through venous blood specimens, after therapy with counter-pressure. Blood was taken serum and then performed ELISA test.

Results: The results showed that the TNF (pg/ml) variable had a mean of 69.19 (±83.4) pg/ml with the lowest TNF (pg/ml) 4.91558 pg/ml and TNF (pg/ml) ml) the highest was 331.1973 pg/ml. Based on the 95% Confidence Interval value, it can be predicted that the population’s TNF (pg/ml) is in the range of 45.73––92.65 pg/ml.69.192 (±83.404).

Conclusion: The findings of this study were pressure applied during Regiosacral Counter-Pressure therapy in reducing the level of labor pain.
