Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of the effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) with the injection of pethidine and promethazine in labor pain reduction
Design
This three-phase clinical trial, with parallel groups, randomized (using the random allocation rule) is performed on 90 pregnant women.
Settings and conduct
This randomized clinical trial study is performed on 90 pregnant women, in Yas Hospital. The sampling method is a convenience method.
