title: [Beta-endorphins during childbirth under transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation].
abstract: Beta-endorphins are substances produced by the body to inhibit the perception of pain. Normally they exhibit a steep rise during birth. We have seen an impressive fall which also was statistically highly significant after the application of transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation in 20 parturient women.
