Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
2014Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a simple, noninvasive analgesic technique that is used extensively in health-care settings by physiotherapists, nurses, and midwifes. It has been demonstrated that TENS is of significant benefit in the management of vulvar and sexual pain (vulvodynia), and it can also have a relevant role in the ...

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
British Journal of Midwifery, 1999Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) was developed in the 1960s and utilizes the gate-control theory of pain relief. It ‘closes the gate’ to pain impulses, in the case of labour, at the synapse in the spinal cord of afferent uterine nerve impulses.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
2019Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a technique that uses electrical pulsations for pain management. Although this method is applied to treat various pain syndromes, its clinical efficacy has been a frequent subject of debate in the literature.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation in Urinary Retention
Southern Medical Journal, 1985A 53-year-old woman with chronic back pain manifesting urinary frequency and incomplete voiding, presumably due to epidural scarring, was treated with standard TENS. Magnitude of residual urine and urinary frequency were decreased to acceptable limits and maintained in the absence of TENS treatment, allowing discontinuance of daily catheterization.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation for Postlaparotomy Pain
Physical Therapy, 1983This study was designed to evaluate the transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) postoperative program administered by a physical therapy department. A surgeon, a physical therapist, a recovery room nurse, and unit nurses participated in the program which included preoperative evaluation and patient education, application of sterile ...

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation for Facial Pain
2020Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) has been used for its analgesic effects for chronic pain, including facial pain. Here, we summarize how the electrical stimulation of branches of the trigeminal nerve via TENS has been utilized to reduce pain resulting from trigeminal neuralgia, temporomandibular joint disorder, migraine and other ...

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation for Neuropathic Pain
Journal of Hand Surgery, 2005This study examined the clinical effectiveness of high-frequency transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for reducing hypersensitivity of the hand. Nineteen patients suffering from hand hypersensitivity were randomly assigned into either a treatment or a placebo group.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
1988The first modern stimulator for TENS of peripheral nerves for the management of pain was originally developed as a screening device to determine the potential usefulness of surgical implantation of electrodes for the stimulation of the dorsal column of the spinal cord.
