Safety System Design Simulation for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator using Electrode Contact Test

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator) is a therapeutic device used to deliver electric current through one’s skin. As the device is used on the human body, safety concern becomes a matter that needs special attention. One option for electrical safety is testing whether the electrode has attached properly to the skin. The test is done in the interval of the simulator pulse. This opti...

Design of a Implantable Selective Nerve Stimulator

At University College London implantable stimulators suitable for the selective stimulation of nerve are being developed. We hope these devices will be capable of selectively stimulating either by fibre position, fibre size or to launch action potentials in one direction only, using nerve cuff electrodes. These methods of selective stimulation have been demonstrated by many workers; early paper...

Transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) in dentistry- A review

Transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) is a non-pharmacological method which is widely used by medical and paramedical professionals for the management of acute and chronic pain in a variety of conditions. Similarly, it can be utilized for the management of pain during various dental procedures as well as pain due to various conditions affecting maxillofacial region. This review aims ...

Transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) for cancer pain in adults.

BACKGROUND Cancer-related pain is complex and multi-dimensional but the mainstay of cancer pain management has predominately used a biomedical approach. There is a need for non-pharmacological and innovative approaches. Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation (TENS) may have a role for a significant number of patients but the effectiveness of TENS is currently unknown. OBJECTIVES The aim of...
