[Reflex analgesia in the combined treatment of pregnant women with a pathological preliminary period]. / Reflektornaia analgeziia v kompleksnom lechenii beremennykh s patologicheskim preliminarnym periodom.

The impact of reflex analgesia via transcutaneous electrical neurostimulation and electrical acupuncture was studied in 46 patients with an abnormal preliminary period by using tests of pain sensations and personal and reactive anxiety, ECG, hysterography, and computer-aided prediction of labor complications. Reflex analgesia was found to contribute to effective abolishment of preliminary pain sensations, to normalization of central nervous system function, autonomic reactions, uterine contractility, to reduction in pharmacological agent use and treatment duration, and to better delivery.
