Gupta R, Kaur G, Kaur J, et al. - Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), which uses low-frequency electrotherapy, is a technique that has been proposed to relieve labor pain and to achieve higher maternal satisfaction. Researchers here compared TENS with an established labor analgesia technique, ie, epidural analgesia, in terms of maternal satisfaction. In this prospective study, 60 parturients in the active stage of labor either underwent TENS or were administered epidural ropivacaine 0.125% + 2 μg/ml fentanyl. The TENS group and the epidural group had 90% vs 96.6% parturients, respectively, who report the respective technique as favorable and had 4 (13.3%) vs 17 (56.6%) parturients, respectively, as highly satisfied. In the epidural group, three patients had assisted delivery and two had cesarean section whereas in the TENS group, all patients delivered normally. Based on findings, they suggest TENS to be a good alternative to provide labor analgesia.
