Tens Machines stops a pain, blocking signaling from a nerve to a brain. The doctor places electrodes on a skin in painful sites. Electrodes are connected with a stimulator which generates a weak, painless electric current.
Electric stimulation of nerves promotes development of hormones which eliminate a pain a natural way. At efficiency sessions Tens Machines are appointed for application in house conditions.
Tens Machines (Tens) is spent by means of the device generating low-frequency electric impulses. They are transferred on-means electrodes which are attached on a back of the woman.
The simplification of a pain is reached at the expense of stimulation of nerves and prevention of receipt of painful impulses in a brain. It promotes development in an organism of natural anesthetizing substances. The woman can supervise force and frequency of impulses by means of the panel attached on a hand. Tens it can be applied since 37th week of pregnancy and at the time of delivery, except for time when the woman takes a bath or a shower. Such devices are given in some medical institutions. Often women using Tens Machines the houses, agree in opinion that the device helps with the first period of sorts as then it has the strongest an effect.
The big advantage Tens Machines is that the woman can independently supervise receipt of electric impulses. This method of anesthesia is most effective in the beginning of sorts.
The device for Tens Machines represents the device working from batteries, having electrodes which are imposed on a skin. Tens Machines it is usually applied from the beginning of the first period of sorts.
Rough indications on use Tens Machines in the postoperative period
To create the program of carrying out Tens Machines in the postoperative period, it is necessary to accept set of the big and small decisions. Their detailed discussion is resulted in special managements [67, 68]. Usually physiatrists take part in working out of such programs, and they are intended patients with chronic pains. The nursing staff of the branches specializing on struggle against a pain, is better than others is focused in application Tens for postoperative patients [68].
As expressiveness of clinical advantages Tens Machines and treatment cost can be regarded differently also the decision on appointment of this method of treatment or on its cancellation the doctor should accept. Moreover, in the absence of comparable parameters of efficiency Tens the conclusion about action of this method can be only presumable. Usual recommendations are resulted in tab. 20-4 and 20-5.
