Abstract

This thesis reports the results of a Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis, and a research study. The Systematic Review compared the efficacy of topical versus oral medications to a placebo in athletes. A meta-analysis was conducted calculating Hedges’ g and forest plots with 95% CI were created. There was a significant pooled effect size indicating a reduction in pain for the topical medication compared to the placebo, but not for the oral medication compared to the placebo. The conclusion was that topical medication was more effective for pain reduction than oral medication amongst athletes.

The research study aimed to analyze the correlation between the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), the Labor Pain Relief Attitude Questionnaire for pregnant women (LPRAQ-p), the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and pain measured on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Women were asked to fill out the PCS, the LPRAQ-p, and the EPDS in the prenatal period, and the EPDS once again in the postpartum period, along with the VAS regarding labor pain and current pain. The hypotheses were that the PCS would be correlated to pain, the LPRAQ-p, and the EPDS, and that the LPRAQ-p and the EPDS would be correlated. The only significant correlations amongst the questionnaires were the prenatal EPDS being correlated to the postpartum VAS, and the prenatal and postpartum EPDS being correlated. A secondary exploratory analysis showed that EPDS scores were higher amongst nulliparous women compared to multiparous women, and that the LPRAQ-p was higher in women who received analgesia.
