Original Source: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on acupoints relieves labor pain: A non-randomized controlled study.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on four specific acupuncture points Hegu (LI4), Neiguan (PC6), Danshu (BL19) and Weishu (BL21) for reducing pain in labor. METHODS: A total of 160 voluntary nulliparous women who were willing to receive TENS for analgesia were assigned to the treatment group after cervical dilation of more than 2 cm. Another 145 matched nullipara were recruited as the control group. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess the...

Chronic nerve pain: researchers identify which sensory nerve cells are responsible
New research, led by academics at the University of Bristol and published in the journal Pain, has identified the subtypes of sensory nerve cells that are likely to contribute to long-term nerve pain...
Chronic nerve pain: an interview with Professor Sally Lawson
Chronic nerve pain results from pathological changes within a nerve that appear to be self-sustaining and thus the pain continues for a long time.
Researchers identify which sensory nerve cells contribute to chronic nerve pain
(Medical Xpress) -- New research from the University of Bristol has identified the subtypes of sensory nerve cells that are likely to contribute to long-term nerve pain from partial nerve injury. It i...
Animal Study Suggests That Social Contact May Ease Pain Related To Nerve Damage
Companionship has the potential to reduce pain linked to nerve damage, according to a new study. Mice that were paired with a cage-mate showed lower pain responses and fewer signs of inflammation in t...
Facial pain has a number of causes. Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is named for the nerve (the trigeminal, or fifth cranial nerve) that is affected. Trigeminal neuralgia causes brief, intense, severe pain,...

Freezing Nerves, An Effective Way To Treat Chronic Pain
A form of treatment called cyroneurolysis is being used for chronic pain caused by nerve damage; it involves using a tiny ball of ice to interrupt pain signals and eliminate pain while the nerves slow...
