title: [The influence of transcerebral impulse current on labour pain and the course of delivery (author's transl)].
abstract: 107 Patients have been treated by the method of central electrostimulation during delivery. Weak electric current (1,5-3,0 miA) has been applied between fronto-occipital electrodes. In 82% of the patients a sedative effect was observed or reported. A reduction of labour pain took place in 72,8%. An additional effect was the distinct reduction of 50%, concerning the time of labour under this method, compared with a control group of the clinic.
