[The influence of TNS (transcutaneous nerve stimulation) on placental flow (author's transl)].
A report about 12. gravid patients with a diminished uteroplacental flow is given. To increase their placental perfusion a transcutaneus lumbo-sacral electric nerve stimulation was performed. In all 12 cases a distinet increase war measured by the method of radioisotope placenta-perfusion. The mean values showed a high significant difference (p less than 0,001). The reasons for this results and the possibilities of this findings for the therapy of funcitonal placental insufficiency are discussed.
