A specific child-birth class that has been researched and evaluated is the “Bonapace Method.” This is an educational intervention that aims to reduce pain during childbirth. This method uses both the pregnant person’s significant partner in addition to pain control techniques. These pain control techniques are based on three neurophysiological pain models: 1. The Gate control theory; 2. CNS control through cognitive structuring and breathing; and 3. Hyperstimulation of acupressure trigger points. Essentially, the partner will massage pressure points on sensitive areas of the body including the hand, calf and sacrum. This is intended to distract the brain from pain from contractions.

The efficacy of this method was studied in a multicenter case control study. It showed that compared to a traditional childbirth training program, pregnant people using the Bonapace Method had a lower pain perception in terms of both unpleasantness and intensity. Pregnant people looking to reduce pain during labor through educational interventions should consider looking into the Bonapace Method and figure out if it is right for them.
