The effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in patients with severe angina pectoris.
The pain-relieving effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) were investigated in patients with severe angina pectoris first with respect to systemic and coronary hemodynamics and myocardial metabolism during pacing-induced angina and second in a controlled long-term study. Two series of patients with severe angina pectoris (NYHA class III to IV) were studied (13 patients in...
متن کاملRespiratory compromise: a rare complication of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for angina pectoris.
Electrical stimulation of any muscle group may produce tetany. If the intercostal muscles are involved this may lead to respiratory embarrasment. A case is presented in which transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) treatment for angina pectoris resulted in respiratory arrest.

متن کاملTranscutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a non-invasive analgesic technique that is used to relieve nociceptive, neuropathic, and musculoskeletal pain. During TENS, pulsed electrical currents are generated by a portable pulse generator and delivered across the intact surface of the skin via the selfadhering conducting pads called electrodes (Fig. 1). Patients can self-administer TE...
متن کاملTranscutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
TENS is a method of electrical stimulation which primarily aims to provide a degree of symptomatic pain relief by exciting sensory nerves and thereby stimulating either the pain gate mechanism and/or the opioid system. The different methods of applying TENS relate to these different physiological mechanisms. The effectiveness of TENS varies with the clinical pain being treated, but research wou...
