Hebammen in Deutschland kennen TENS oft nur vom Hörensagen. Aber wie funktioniert die Methode genau? Und was wünschen sich Frauen von Hebammen in der Aufklärung und Anwendung? Der folgende Beitrag erörtert Hintergrund, Wirkungsprinzip und Nutzen mithilfe wissenschaftlicher Evidenz. Erfahrungen aus dem britischen Hebammenalltag geben Einblick in die Arbeit mit TENS.
