No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This randomized double-blinded control trial aims to compare the pain levels experienced by the women using the standard conscious sedation and those who had transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in addition to conscious sedation. The hypothesis is that there will be less pain in women with both conscious sedation and TENS.

Conditions

  • Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation
  • Oocyte Retrieval

Interventions

DEVICE
