Evaluated the efficacy of EMG muscle relaxation training in increasing relaxation during pregnancy and in shortening 1st-stage labor. Subjects were 8 women experiencing their 1st pregnancy who were enrolled in Lamaze childbirth classes. Compared to the 4 women who received Lamaze training only, the 4 who also received EMG training showed a significant increase in relaxation and a significant decrease in the duration of 1st-stage labor. The results support previous findings on the value of combining the 2 types of training in preparation for natural childbirth.
