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 .
Pain during labor is caused by contractions of the muscles of the uterus and by pressure on the cervix. This pain can be felt as strong cramping in the abdomen, groin, and back, as well as an achy feeling. Some women experience pain in their sides or thighs as well. Most women have an epidural or spinal during labour or after the birth.

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.
