[Treatment with electric stimulation].
The author presents various electrostimulation techniques that have been applied with good results for triggering and stimulation of parturition, preventing secondary adynamia of pharmacologic analgesia at birth, for analgesia and sedation during childbirth, for the treatment of hypertensive dysgravida, for postoperative analgesia, and the prophylaxis of dynamic ileus, for the treatment of postoperative dynamic ileus and for the therapy of chronic pain. The electrostimulation technique is applied with several devices that deliver pulse currents of various form with a frequency between 1 and 250 Hz and intensities between 1 and 40 mA, through 2, 3 or 4 transcutaneous electrodes. The electrostimulation techniques can be applied as current therapeutical methods, or can be used as reserve therapy in various specialties. They are economical, easy to perform, and protect the patient against toxic, allergic, and genetic side effects of pharmacologic therapy.
