Evaluación de la eficacia del método de Sofropedagogía Obstétrica mediante el dosaje de Beta-Endorfinas

results of a study aimed to relate the serum levels of beta-endorphins with the degree of painful sensation perceived by women during delivery labor are presented. two groups of patients in identical obstetric conditions differentiated only by their sophropedagogic preparation for childbirth were compared. it was assumed that the prepared patients would have less painful sensations and therefore fewer requirements of endogenic analgesics. the results suggest the effectiveness of the method as well of its implementation.
