Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialIs transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation of any value during cervical laser treatment?
To assess the value of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) during cervical laser therapy. ⋯ Although there was considerable consumer satisfaction with TENS it provided no additional pain relieving effect in addition to direct infiltration of lignocaine and it is inferior to lignocaine alone. We are unable to advocate the use of TENS for laser treatment of the cervix.

To compare the activity of calcium independent phospholipase A2 in the endometrium of women with polycystic ovaries and in women with normal ovaries, and to investigate the influence of chronic pelvic pain on phospholipase A2 activity. ⋯ These data suggest that phospholipase A2 type 2 activity is increased in proliferative phase endometrium of women with polycystic ovaries but that the increase is not associated with chronic pelvic venous congestion.
