Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation

1988
The 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.

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation

British Journal of Midwifery, 1999
Transcutaneous 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 for Facial Pain

2020
Transcutaneous 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, 2005
This 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 for Postlaparotomy Pain

Physical Therapy, 1983
This 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 ...

[Electric stimulation or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation].

Soins; la revue de reference infirmiere, 2012
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is a non-medicated therapy with no side effects, compatible with other treatments and able to be used for an unlimited time. It consists in emitting painless electrical pulses around the nerves or muscles, through electrodes placed on the skin and connected to an easy-to-use generator or stimulator.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator for Stress Incontinence

Journal of Urology, 1981
It 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.

A Review Of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)

Journal of Medical Engineering & Technology, 1982
Since 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 ...

Electrical transcutaneous nerve stimulation for relief of itch

Experientia, 1975
La stimulation electrique transcutanee a ete employee pour des patients atteints de prurigo. Dans 17 cas de personnes traitees, 14 ont ete delivrees de leur mal pendant des periodes qui varierent de quelques heures a une semaine. La base neurophysiologique de cet effet n'est pas entierement etablie.

Electrode Placements for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation

Physical Therapy, 1978
Even 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
