Pain and its management hold a central place in health care. The pain associated with pregnancy and giving birth is unique in that it is a normal, physiologic phenomenon that is affected by cultural mores, personal experience, and internalized sensations. There are numerous nonpharmacologic tools available to treat discomfort during pregnancy and childbirth. Some methods of nonpharmacologic relief are underutilized, due to the lack of knowledge of the evidence. Childbirth educators, doulas, nurses, and midwives are a prime source of knowledge for birthing families to learn a variety of comfort techniques during pregnancy and labor. The purpose of this article is to discuss the use of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) as a nonpharmacologic comfort technique.
疼痛及其管理在医疗保健中占据核心地位。与怀孕和分娩相关的疼痛具有独特性,因为它是一种正常的生理现象,会受到文化习俗、个人经历和内在感觉的影响。有许多非药物手段可用于治疗孕期和分娩期间的不适。由于缺乏对相关证据的了解,一些非药物缓解方法未得到充分利用。分娩教育者、导乐、护士和助产士是分娩家庭了解孕期和分娩期间各种舒适技巧的主要知识来源。本文的目的是讨论将经皮电刺激神经疗法(TENS)作为一种非药物舒适技巧的应用。
