Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation has been proposed as a nonoperative treatment for osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of a novel transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation device compared with those of other standard nonoperative modalities for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee.

Transcutaneous afferent patterned stimulation (TAPS), also referred to as non-invasive peripheral nerve stimulation, at the wrist provides a promising option for management of essential tremor. This new wrist-worn neuromodulation method avoids risks surgical interventions and can be easily used home. TAPS therapy is indicated aid in temporary relief hand tremors following adults with No serious...

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...

Objective- To determine the effect of the transcutaneous electrical neural stimulation on healing of hip joint cartilage defect in rabbit.Design- Experimental in vivo study.Animals- 12 adult New Zealand rabbits were used.Procedures- Under effective the right femoral head was subluxated and the maximum accessible cartilage was denuded up to subchondral bone using dental bit in each rabbit. Then ...

Temporomandibulardisordercharacterizes a varied group of pathologies affecting temporomandibularjoints, masticatory muscles, or both.The treatment temporomandibular disorders is major challenge because its causes and structures involved also the functioning one joint always dependent on other. Transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation non-pharmacological method pain control recently it gaining ...

UNLABELLED We reviewed trigeminal nerve stimulation (TNS) and transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS). All techniques have shown preliminary promising results, although the results are mixed. METHOD We performed a systematic review of the Medline and Embase databases, with no constraint to dates, through June 2013. The keywords were [(1) trigeminal nerve stimulation OR (2) cranial nerve...

Non-invasive, weak direct current stimulation can induce changes in excitability of underlying neural tissue. Many studies have used transcranial direct current stimulation to induce changes in the brain, however more recently a number of studies have used transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation to induce changes in the spinal cord. This study further characterises the effects followin...

The objective of this study was to describe the role of electrical stimulation in controlling peripheral vertigo. In a prospective study on 13 healthy volunteers, nystagmus was induced with caloric stimulation and the interval of nystagmus disappearance was recorded. This time indicates the basal response of vestibular end-organ. After caloric irrigation, pulsed signal was applied for each...

1. Both high- and low-intensity transcutaneous electrical stimuli were applied to the emergence of the infratrochlear nerve in 18 healthy subjects. The effect on the size of the homolateral pupil was investigated. The width of the pupil was also measured when high-intensity transcutaneous electrical stimulation was applied to the contralateral side. 2. The high-intensity pulse resulted in const...
