TENS unit during labor?

Has anyone used a TENS unit (electrical stimulation unit) during early labor to relieve back pain? I've seen it mentioned as a pain management technique for all-natural labor. However, I would appreciate hearing some first hand experiences with using it.

My mom used one while laboring with my youngest brother and said it was OK for early labor but did absolutely nothing as it progressed.
