[Non-medicamentous treatment of labor pain by electrostimulation]. 1985

E Kubista

Methods of electric stimulation have been tested for their effect on labour pain during delivery. Beside the central (cerebral) electric stimulation electro-acupuncture and transcutaneous electric stimulation have been used. Because of the only moderate results and the difficulties in clinical handling electro-acupuncture is not very usefull for pain reduction during child birth. Central stimulation and transcutaneous stimulation brought relief of pain in about 60% of the 209 patients treated with these methods in addition to a significant reduction of the labour period. No side effects on mother or child were observed.
