The search for publications took place in the following databases: SCIELO, Google Academic and in the database grouper BVS and PUBMED with selection between 2012 to 2018. Fourteen articles that met the inclusion criteria were evaluated. In the studies were analyzed measures such as the use of the Swiss ball, ambulation, shower or immersion bath, music therapy, massage in the cervix-sacral region, acupuncture, cryotherapy and respiratory relaxation.
