Due to the harmful effects of chemical drugs, mothers have turned to herbal remedies. The present study was conducted with aim to evaluate the effect of the capsule containing Valeriana officinalis on the severity of postpartum pain.
Methods: This triple-blind randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted in 2023-2024 at hospitals affiliated with Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences. A total of 70 postpartum mothers were divided into two intervention and control groups. During the first 24 hours, every 8 hours, the intervention group was given 250 mg oral mefenamic acid capsules and 500 mg oral valerian capsules, and the control group was given placebo capsules and 250 mg oral mefenamic acid capsules. The intensity of postpartum pain was recorded with the VAS tool half an hour, one hour, and two hours after each intervention. The data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 21) and chi-square, Fisher's exact test, independent t-test, and regression analysis. P<0.05 was considered significant.
Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the intervention and control groups in terms of demographic and obstetric characteristics before the intervention (p>0.05). There was a significant difference between the intervention and control groups in the mean pain score over time (p<0.001). Also, based on the results of the analysis of variance of repeated measurements, there was a significant decrease in the mean intra-group pain score over time in the intervention group (p<0.001).
