Summary

Labor is widely recognized as one of the most painful experience possible. The standard analgesic treatment currently consists of pharmacological methods. Adverse effects, complication risks, psychological effects, limit these techniques as well as high costs. These limits concurred to the application of these techniques mainly on demand and not routinely. have not, as of today, met a large scientific consensus, as shown by many recent Cochrane reviews. A promising perspective for non-pharmacological analgesia seems to be offered by Virtual Reality (VR) devices, which have been applied to many different medical areas.
