ABSTRACT
Background: The antinociceptive action mechanism behind TENS has been suggested to be based on the afferent activity set up by TENS, which inhibits the nociceptive transmission in the spinal cord through pre- as well as postsynaptic inhibitory mechanisms. Breastfeeding provides age specific nutrients, immunological factors, and antibacterial substances.
Objective: To find out the immediate effect of TENS on painful post-partum uterine contractions in primipara.
Methodology: 60 samples were randomly selected according to inclusion criteria, one to one allocation were done to divide into 3 groups.
Results: In Group A mean NRPS Pre 8.05 ± 0.3940 and post 1-0.3078 and P Value <0.0001, in group B Pre 8-0.000 and Post 1-0.3078, P Value <0.0001, in group C Pre 7.95 ± 0.3940 Post 1.05 ± 0.2236 P Value <0.0001
Conclusion: In this study, we concluded that high TENS, Low TENS and breast feeding equally effective on pain and anxiety in post-partum primipara.
