Introduction: Due to importance of duration of LABOR, this study investigates the effects of ACUPUNCTURE on duration of LABOR. Prolonged LABOR causes of maternal and neonatal complications, prenatal mortality & high CS. By inserting specific needles into particular spots of the body, ACUPUNCTURE cases reduction duration of LABOR. By instigating Oxytocine, LABOR duration is shorter.Objective: Evaluation of influence of ACUPUNCTURE on duration of LABOR. Materials and Methods: The present study was accomplished on 60 pregnant women who had referred to some of Tehran hospitals for their childbirth. First of all, the qualified pregnant women were entered into the study by the answers that had given to questionnaire No.1.

In the group A, 12 spots ACUPUNCTURE in the active phase of LABOR were used and in the group B, 6 hypothetical spots were used to reduce duration. Results: The mean time of first phase of delivery in group A was 169.6 minutes and in group B was 165.3 minutes indicating no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p=0.297). The mean time of second phase of delivery in group A was 33 minutes and in group B was 31.67 minutes which indication no significant difference between the two groups too (p=0.167). On the other hand, as for the rate of oxytocine reception during the delivery time, there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups, that is, 15 women out of the group A and 23 women out of group B had used oxytocine (p=0.03).Conclusion: The results of research indicate that ACUPUNCTURE does not influence on delivery and neonatal. ACUPUNCTURE has no influence on LABOR duration in both group A and group B. It reduces need to Oxytocine in LABOR.
