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...

Clinical significance of vagus nerve variation in radiofrequency ablation of thyroid nodules.
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the types and incidence of vagus nerve variations and to assess factors related to the vulnerability of vagus nerves during the radiofrequency (RF) ablation of thyroid nodules....
Vagus nerve stimulation was performed experimentally for the first time more than 150 years ago. In the 1980s and 1990s, vagus nerve stimulation was shown, both in the anesthetized and in the conscio...
Vagus Nerve Schwannoma in the Middle Mediastinum.
Intrathoracic neurogenic tumors are generally located in the posterior mediastinum. They usually arise from an intercostal nerve or a sympathetic chain. Tumors originating from the vagus nerve in the...
Cervico-mediastinal schwannoma of the vagus nerve: resection with intraoperative nerve monitoring.
Schwannomas are usually benign, single, encapsulated, slow-growing tumours originating from cranial or spinal nerve sheaths. The vagus nerve involvement at the mediastinal inlet is very uncommon. For...
