Effects of peanut ball use on perceived labor pain, fatigue, and mother's perception of childbirth: a randomized controlled trial.

The findings of this study indicate that the use of peanut balls during labor can effectively reduce labor pain and fatigue in pregnant women, without affecting the duration of labor. Additionally, the use of peanut balls has been shown to positively influence the perception of labor among pregnant women. Therefore, it is recommended that midwives educate pregnant women about the use of peanut balls during labor and provide support in their use.
