Labor pain control by aromatherapy: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that aromatherapy is effective in reducing labor pain and duration, and generally safe to the mothers. However, due to the heterogeneity across trials in some of the outcomes, further trials with device-based pain measurements, larger sample size, and more stringent design, should be conducted before strong recommendation.
