Telethermographic Findings After Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation

Physical Therapy, 1986
The purpose of this study was to determine whether some types of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation cause local vasodilation. The amount of vascular perfusion was monitored using telethermography to gauge the skin temperature of the area to which TENS was applied.
