NCT02427139

Brief Summary

The specific aim of the study is to do comparison between ANSiStim and Placebo for pain relief in labor. During the treatment, pain relief will be assesed with ANSiStim in active labor through continues checking of VAS SCORE. ANSiStim has been tried in post operative patients with good pain relief .

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Evidence of Reduced Pain (Pain Scale of 5) in Active Labor Phase after ANSiStim Placement

    48 Hours

Study Arms (1)

ANSiStim

EXPERIMENTAL

The ANSiStim device is designed to administer auricular point stimulation treatment over several days. The advantage of using the ear for this treatment is that it provides numerous points for stimulation within a small area. Stimulation is performed by electrical pulses emitted through strategically positioned needles. Three zinc air batteries with 1.4 V provide the required stimulation energy for 96 hours. This constant current source guarantees equivalent stimulation energy regardless of the individual impedance of the skin. The treatment period varies based on the severity of the pain. To minimize the risk of adaption or tolerance to the electrical stimulation, it is applied for 3 hours, followed by a pause of 3 hours.

Device: ANSiStim

Interventions

ANSiStimDEVICE

ANSiStim allows continuous point stimulation over a period of several days while offering the patient a high degree of comfort and mobility at the same time. Use of the ANSiSTIM therapy provides overwhelming advantage over drug therapy minimizing possible side-effects caused by pain medications (i.e. opioid) such as, for example, impaired reactions. In most cases, the patient continues to lead its life as normal, without side effects or any loss of quality of life.
