Abstract：Objective: To observe the effects of electroacupuncture at Hegu, Sanyinjiao and Zusanli points in labor analgesia and to investigate the analgesic mechanism. Methods: 80 cases maternal were randomly divided into two groups, Group A:transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation(TENS)group(Use TENS to Hegu,Sanyinjiao,Zusanli point in labor until the fetus was delivered);Group B:control group.Record VAS at different times,delivery outcome and perinatal outcome.Collect venous blood in both groups at the time of postpartum(T0),uterus opens to the full extent(T1)to test the concentration of β-EP, Cor and ACTH. Results: The VAS scores of group A were significantly lower than those of group B at each time points in incubation period of labor(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference in both groups after active phase of labor(P>0.05). The stage of labor in group A was shorter than that in group B (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in postpartum hemorrhage and Apgar score between two groups (P>0.05).Compared with T0,the concentrations of β-EP,Cor and ACTH in peripheral blood of both groups were significantly increased at T1(P<0.05).The concentration of β-EP at T1was significantly
