NeuroTrac™ Labour TENS Operation Manual
5
The Labour TENS Stimulator uses four long skin electrodes on the skin close
to the spine and connected to the device via lead wires. The stimulation
intensity is adjusted until a mild tingling sensation is felt. The NeuroTrac™
Labour TENS unit has a hand held push button control to change the
stimulation mode from LOW frequency burst to HIGH frequency stimulation.
The low frequency is used during rest periods [Between contractions]. As soon
as labour contraction is felt strongly the mode is changed to high frequency
stimulation, once the contractions have subsided the mode is reverted back to
low frequency burst mode stimulation.
Clinical evidence suggests that to achieve the best pain relief, the stimulator
should be used from the first onset of labour pain and for two to three hours
after birth. If it is found that insufficient pain relief is achieved with the labour
TENS unit then, improved relief can be achieved by using smaller amounts of
alternative analgesia to compliment the TENS unit.
From existing evidence, Labour Tens units can be an effective technique for
pain control in over 80% of births with no side effects.
