TENS and pregnancy

[Willeseden]

Just wondering what your thoughts are on TENS with pregnant women. I know that it is routinely used on the low back in pregnant patients in Sweden. Here in Canada there are mixed opinions - it seems to only be used in labour. What is common practice in your area?

Hi,

In France, we can use TENS in first six months of pregnancy.
There is not really contraindications but only consensus and precaution.
