Abstract
Objective: Our objective was to determine if there is a difference in anxiety during urodynamics in women given lavender aromatherapy (lavender) versus placebo.
Methods: This was a randomized, controlled trial of women scheduled for urodynamic testing with baseline anxiety. Participants rated their anxiety and pain immediately before the examination and then were randomized to lavender or placebo. Anxiety and pain were assessed immediately after catheter placement and 15 minutes after termination of the study.
Results: Data for 40 women who received lavender and 38 women who received placebo were available for analysis. Decrease in anxiety from baseline to catheter placement (-2 vs -0.5, P = 0.01) and 15 minutes post procedure was significantly greater in the lavender group. Postprocedure anxiety was lower in the lavender group compared with controls (0 vs 0.5, P = 0.001). No differences were seen in pain.
Conclusions: Lavender aromatherapy reduces anxiety during urodynamics.
目的:我们的目的是确定接受薰衣草芳香疗法(薰衣草)和安慰剂治疗的女性在尿动力学期间的焦虑是否有差异。方法:这是一项随机对照试验，计划对基线焦虑的女性进行尿动力学测试。参与者在检查前立即评估了他们的焦虑和疼痛，然后随机分配到薰衣草组或安慰剂组。在置管后立即和研究结束后15分钟评估焦虑和疼痛。结果:40名接受薰衣草治疗的妇女和38名接受安慰剂治疗的妇女的数据可供分析。从基线到置管后焦虑的降低(-2 vs -0.5, P = 0.01)和术后15分钟，薰衣草组显著更大。与对照组相比，薰衣草组术后焦虑较低(0 vs 0.5, P = 0.001)。在疼痛方面没有发现差异。结论:薰衣草芳香疗法可减少尿动力学过程中的焦虑。
