At the admission of the pregnant women in this study before the start of the treatment, there was a difference in the number pregnancies. However, this did not affect the other variables which can be considered influences on their responses to the pain. These variables included: parity, the integrity of the amniotic membrane, the cervical dilations and the number and intensity of the contractions. We noted during the treatment fewer contractions in the TG group in relation to the SP6 and CG group that received the acupressure.
