Peter Brocklehurst, professor of women’s health and director of the Institute for Women’s Health at University College London, added: “This ‘review of reviews’ clearly shows that many methods of pain relief in labour, particularly non-drug methods such as massage and immersion in water, are not well researched.
“This does not mean that these methods don’t work – just that we don’t know because the research has not been done.”

The only pain relief my wife used was a TENS machine, which she thought worked very well. We've no way of know whether it was the placebo effect, but that didn't seem to matter very much at the time.
