Efficacy and safety of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation as an adjunct to epidural labor analgesia

Key Points

• To assess the efficacy and safety of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) as an adjunct to epidural labor analgesia.
• Evaluated TEAS alongside standard epidural analgesia during labor.
• Monitored safety and effectiveness in pain reduction.
• Used standardized assessments for pain levels.
• TEAS significantly reduces pain perception during labor.
• TEAS is found to have a strong safety profile with minimal side effects.
