A systematic review of six randomised controlled trials from countries including Canada, Denmark, Iran, Sweden and Thailand was conducted. Statistically significant findings (p<0.0001) of relief of low back pain in labour lasting from 10 min to 2 h post-administration. Intradermal injections of sterile water possess powerful analgesic benefits for women experiencing low back pain in labour and their use in this therapeutic setting is justifiable.
