abstract introduction: interferential current is one of the most popular kinds of electrical stimulation that are used in electrotherapy. despite its clinical popularity, there have been limited studies to investigate how this stimulation protocol affects the nerve fibers. this study was aimed to develop a realistic model for the stimulation of nerve fibers by interferential currents and using ...

O câncer pode trazer ao paciente experiências quadros álgicos. Atualmente eletroterapia na fisioterapia recurso bem estabelecido prática clínica benefícios indiscutíveis, entretanto, sua aplicação pacientes oncológicos ainda pou...

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) of bundles, such as ulnar and median nerves, is a technique used to evoke tactile sensation on the hand. Considering this does not require electrodes be attached hand, it can induce without interrupting interaction between hand environment. Although technology has most commonly been explored for restoring sensory feedback in amputees, also appl...

OBJECTIVES This review describes the evidence from established and experimental therapies that use electrical nerve stimulation to treat lower urinary tract dysfunction. METHODS Clinical studies on established treatments such as percutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation (P-PTNS), transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) and sacral anterior root ...

During the past two years, we have been using transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for pain control after spinal fusion with Harrington rods. This report describes our postoperative pain management program and our evaluation of its effectiveness. We examined postoperative pain medication usage and found that patients using TENS received fewer doses of several commonly prescribed p...

ACUPUNCTURE IN MEDICINE 2001;19(1):46-49. www.medical-acupuncture.co.uk/aimintro.htm Summary A case of repetitive epileptic fits in a post stroke patient after transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is presented. It seems more likely than not that the TENS triggered the repetitive fits in this patient. Although the risk of this adverse effect seems to be small, it should be borne in...

In previous studies, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) was shown to have a positive effect on memory in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. Moreover, the reported effects appeared to be more beneficial in early stages of Alzheimer's disease compared to later stage intervention. Based on this stage-dependency, the present study examined the effects of TENS on memory in a preclini...
