Abstract
This study is a systematic review of randomized experimental and non-randomized studies on the effects of lavender scent therapy on pain and a meta-analysis to provide evidence-based data. The data included in the meta-analysis are 18 studies published from 2000 to 2018, with interventional subjects being surgical, maternal, arthritis and dialysis patients, and the types of interventions were massage, application, hot-pack, and taking medication. RESULTS: The effect size (Hedges' g) for pain was -0.16 [95% CI:-1.40: -0.72], which was statistically significant. The effect size according to intervention type was -1.36 [95% CI: -1.96, -0.77], local application -1.11 [95% CI:-1.57-0.66], inhalation -1.05 [95% CI:-1.54, -0.56 ], and massage -0.92 [95% CI:-1.62, -0.23], all of which were statistically significant. To explore the possible causes of heterogeneity ($I^2=88%$), meta-ANOVA was conducted with covariates of intervention type or study design, and the results revealed it was statistically insignificant (intervention type Q=0.25, df=3, p=.968, study design Q=0.22, df=1, p=.642).
