  • Title: [Non-medicamentous treatment of labor pain by electrostimulation].
    Author: Kubista E.
    Journal: Zentralbl Gynakol; 1985; 107(9):532-8. PubMed ID: 3874503.
    Abstract:
    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.
