conclusions tens can reduce postoperative pain in the early hours after inguinal hernia repair surgery. results the mean estimated postoperative pain intensity was 6.21 ± 1.63 in the intervention group and 5.45 ± 1.82 in the control group (p = 0.08). in the intervention group pain intensity at 2 and 4 hours after surgery were 3.54 ± 1.48 and 5.12 ± 1.41 (p < 0.001), respectively. in the control...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical efficacy of transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation in the treatment of postoperative knee arthroplasty pain and to relate these results to the stimulation parameters used. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Pedro and Web of Knowledge were systematically screened for studies investigating effects of transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation on postoperative knee arthrop...

introduction: pain control is the most important issue in emergency department management of patients with femoral bone fractures. the present study aimed to compare the procedural features of ultrasonography and nerve stimulator guided femoral nerve block in this regard. method: in this randomized clinical trial, patients with proximal femoral fractures presenting to emergency department were ...

patients afflicted with chronic pain have both physical and psychological problems. this research investigated the impact of the psychological factors in the treatment results of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (tens) in the patients afflicted with chronic diseases. the subjects were 37 individuals (20 males and 17 females) with the mean age of 46 who had referred to two centers of ...

background headache is one of the most prevalent investigated complaints in the neurology clinics and is the most common pain-related complaint worldwide. stress is a significant factor that causes and triggers headaches. since healthcare practitioners experience a lot of stress in their careers, they are more prone to headaches. objectives this study was designed to evaluate and compares the e...

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 ...

Objective: The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of Transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation in the symptomatic relief of pain in temporomandibular disorders, compared to the administration of analgesic and anti inflammatory agents. Material and Methods: This study was conducted in the department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Khyber College of Dentistry Peshawar and physiotherapy pr...

Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) has been reported on its effect to reorganize the sensory neural network in central nervous system, similar as observations traditional invasive stimulation.

Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a noninvasive method to electrically stimulate afferent structures of the human lumbar spinal cord. These are the same neural targets as predominantly activated by epidural implants. Biophysical principles derived from computer simulations contributed to the identification of the directly activated neural structures. These simulations combine fini...
