Positive effects
We demonstrated positive effects of haptotherapy on fear of childbirth, both in comparison to care as usual and psycho-education via Internet. (…) Haptotherapy seems a promising intervention for pregnant women suffering from fear of childbirth. (…) Although healthcare-haptotherapists who are working in primary healthcare in the Netherlands are directly accessible to the public without the necessary intervention of a GP or specialist, haptotherapy was not available as part of care as usual. (…) This is the first study to examine haptotherapy as treatment for severe fear of childbirth.
