伦敦哈曼史密斯医院试用一种新技术——电刺激产妇,以减轻分娩痛苦取得成功。在试验过程中,医生们发现,这个固定在脊柱两侧腰部的电池装置,接通后产生的小量电流能使肌体释放一种类似吗啡,称为 endorphin 的天然止痛物质。他们还发现在产妇挛缩期间,使用较高频率的电刺激可以阻止痛感信息的传递。这台装置可由使用者自己控制。三十二岁的产妇詹妮弗·奥尔吉德曾试用这种新技术分娩出一对双胞胎。她说,电流给人以一种轻微震颤的感觉,我感到这种感觉是很有助于分娩的。在瑞典哥德堡以及在开罗大学内进行的电止痛试验同样发现,它与分娩常用止痛药派替啶一样有止痛效果。还发现产程时间短于用药产妇,胎儿也 Harman’s London Hospital trial of a new technology - electrical stimulation of the mother to ease the pain of childbirth success. During the experiment, doctors found that the battery device, attached to the waist on either side of the spine, produced a small amount of electrical current that enabled the body to release a morphine-like natural pain-relieving substance called endorphin. They also found that the use of higher frequency electrical stimulation can prevent the transmission of pain information during maternal contracture. This device can be controlled by the user himself. Jennifer Aldridge, a 32-year-old mother, had tried out a new pair of twins by using the new technology. She said the current gives a slight tremor and I feel that it is very helpful for childbirth. The electrical pain test in Goteborg, Sweden, and at Cairo University also found that it had the same analgesic effect as paralytic, the common analgesic childbirth. Also found that labor time is shorter than medication maternal, fetal also
