Objective To explore and analyze the application effects of intraspinal anesthesia and Doula labor analgesia device in clinical labor analgesia. Methods Sixty parturients admitted to our hospital from June 2023 to June 2024 were selected as the research subjects and randomly divided into two groups, each with 30 cases. The control group received intraspinal anesthesia, while the study group received the Doula labor analgesia device. The application effects of different groups were compared. Results At the time when the cervix was dilated to 6 cm and 9 cm, there was no significant difference in VAS scores between the two groups (P > 0.05); the active phase of the first stage of labor and the second stage of labor in the study group were shorter than those in the control group (P < 0.05), and there was no significant difference in the third stage of labor time (P > 0.05); when pain stress factor indicators (NPY, NCF) were measured at the first stage of labor and 5 minutes postpartum, there was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion During the labor process, the analgesic effects of intraspinal anesthesia and the Doula labor analgesia device are comparable. The Doula labor analgesia device can effectively shorten the active phase of the first stage of labor and the second stage of labor time, and its practical application is worthy of promotion.
