objective To observe the effect of treatment with traditional Chinese medicine to relief pain after cesarean section and recovery of lying-in mother. Method 200 cases of full term primipara with epidural anesthesia were divided into two groups randomly after operation. 100 cases in experiment group were relieved pain by overjuting traditional Chinese medicine on omphalus. 100 cases in experimental group relieved pain by epidural control. VAS score and functional recovery of mother were observed after operation. Result VAS score of cases in experiment group have no significant difference compared to the controls for 12h、24h、48h postop. The change of fundus height in experiment group at 24h and 48h were （－0.78±0.38）cm、（－1.37±0.41）cm; those in control group at 24h and 48h were （－1.15±0.22）cm、（－1.80±0.62）cm，there were significant differences between the two groups, and the same to the adverse effect at 12hours（P＜0.01,P＜0.05）.The hemorrhage quantity in experimental group was （151.96±32.33）ml and that in control group was (194.94±44.095）ml, there was significant different between the two groups; The starting time of bed activities in experimental group was （10.3±3.6）h and that in control group was（15.6±2.1）h; The time of out-of-bed activities in experimental group was （22.7±4.4）h and that in control group was（31.4±4.0）h; The passage of gas by anus time in experimental group was （26.1±3.8）h and that in control group was（47.8±7.2）h, there were significant differences between the two groups（P＜0.01）. Automatic micturition time had no obviously difference between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Overjuting traditionalChinese medicine on omphaluscangetthe same analgesic effectasPCEA and improve the maternal recovery from cesarean section.
