The Analgesic Effect of Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation on Labor: A Randomized Control Study.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the analgesic effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on labor.

Methods: Primiparas with single birth and head presentation were enrolled in this study and randomly divided into three groups: TEAS group (n = 76), patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) group (n = 75), and control group without any analgesic measures (n = 78).

Results: Compared with the control group, the visual analog scores of the TEAS group and the PCEA group at each time point decreased (P < 0.

[Effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation on labor analgesia].

Objective: To observe the effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on labor pain.

Methods: A total of 151 primiparas who were vaginal delivery were randomized into a TEAS group (76 cases) and a peridural group (75 cases). In the peridural group, peridural blockage was applied to analgesia.
