This study was conducted to study the effectiveness of
TENS on labour analgesia, maternal and fetal outcome
using TENS by dermatomal stimulation technique and
to compare it with TENS delivered on acupuncture
points with the same frequency of current. The primary
aim was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of
TENS administered by dermatomal stimulation versus
acupuncture points stimulation with regard to the quality
of labour analgesia. The secondary aim was to evaluate
and compare the effect of two techniques on obstetrical
and neonatal outcome.
