Background. Acupuncture-like TENS (AL-TENS) is a treatment modality that can be used to temporarily reduce pain. However, there is no clear data in the literature regarding the specific duration of analgesia induced by AL-TENS. Objectives. To describe and quantify the duration and magnitude of AL-TENS analgesia on experimental heat pain in healthy subjects and verify if the duration or magnitud...

اواسط شهریور 1401 و در نزدیکی ساحل ماسه‌ای رودخانۀ نکا شمال ایران، به روش تورزدن روی گل‌آذین بوته‌های کاهوک (.Lactuca serriola L) میان تمشک وحشی (.Rubus idaeus انار (.Punica granatum L)، نمونه‌ای جیرجیرک جمع‌آوری شد که بررسی توسط کلیدهای شناسایی شکل‌شناسی مقایسه با نمونه‌های از قبل تعیین نام شدۀ موزۀ حشرات هایک میرزایانس رکورد جدید جنس گونه را تایید کرد. این اولین گزارش گونۀ Arachnocephalus ves...

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a nonpharmacologic treatment for pain relief. TENS has been used to treat a variety of painful conditions. This review updates the basic and clinical science regarding the use of TENS that has been published in the past 3 years (ie, 2005-2008). Basic science studies using animal models of inflammation show changes in the peripheral nervous s...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) as analgesia during colonoscopy. DESIGN In a randomised controlled trial, patients undergoing diagnostic colonoscopy were assigned to one of three groups: standard medication only (midazolam); active TENS plus standard medication; or non-functioning TENS and standard medication. Efficacy of TENS was dete...

BACKGROUND Transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TENS) has been proposed as a means of reducing pain in labour. The TENS unit emits low-voltage electrical impulses which vary in frequency and intensity. During labour, TENS electrodes are generally placed on the lower back, although TENS may be used to stimulate acupuncture points or other parts of the body. The physiological mechanisms whereby TENS...

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...
