TENS pain relief for labor induction
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a small device that sends gentle electrical pulses (called TENS) along with the usual medicine for starting labor can help soften the cervix and make labor more comfortable. It might help you have a smoother induction experience.
