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. Both, the 12 patients stimulated only once and the 25 patients with daily stimulation, showed a significant increase of utero-placental perfusion measured by the method of radioisotope placental perfusion. Transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TNS) therefore could be used for therapeutic purpose in cases of placental dysfunction.
