A report is given on 37 patients with a diminished utero-placental perfusion. 12 patients underwent only once, 25 patients daily over 2 to 3 weeks a transcutaneous lumbo-sacral electric nerve stimulation.

Transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TNS) therefore could be used for therapeutic purpose in cases of placental dysfunction.
