Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
Abstract Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) has been widely used in the nonmalignant acute and chronic pain populations for various musculoskeletal and neuropathic pain conditions for decades. Among the oncologic population, researchers have begun to explore the benefits of TENS for various oncologic diagnoses across the ...+4 more sources

A Review Of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
Journal of Medical Engineering & Technology, 1982Since Roman times electricity has been used as a means of obtaining pain relief. Even so, there is still no clear explanation of how this mechanism actually works. In this review article the author looks at the historical development of the pain-relieving properties of electricity and how the electrical stimulator has been developed to meet this need ...

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator for Stress Incontinence
Journal of Urology, 1981It has been shown that some patients with stress incontinence after prostatectomy may have significant improvement with electrical anal stimulation. The use of a transcutaneous stimulator is the easiest and least invasive method to try initially. Results may be quite satisfying whether the mechanism is physiologic or placebo.

Electrode Placements for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
Physical Therapy, 1978Even though transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is gaining increasing acceptance as a noninvasive method of pain modulation, many professionals have not been adequately instructed in the many techniques involved in electrode placement. Alternative methods are presented that can be used when more commonly used methods fail to obtain satisfactory

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation to relieve pain
Postgraduate Medicine, 1976As a therapeutic technique, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is in its infancy, but the instrumentation is rapidly becoming more sophisticated. Mindful of precautions and of the practical limitations of the technique, the practicing physician may find it worthy of serious consideration, particularly in relieving pain on a short-term basis.
