[Evaluation of the analgesic effect of dolsin during labor].

The authors evaluate the analgetic action of 50 mg dolsin in parturient women during childbirth using a Slovak version of McGill's questionnaire on pain. The intensity of pain in women is evaluated before administration of dolsin and after its administration. The obtained data on the analgetic effect are compared with the total score of pain and individual components of pain by the paired t-test. Although the mean values of the total score of pain and the sensory components of pain declined after administration of dolsin, the change was not statistically significant. In the affective component of pain the mean value of PRI(A) increased after dolsin administration.
