TENS: Transcutaneous nerve stimulation

TENS: Transcutaneous nerve stimulation

What is TENS?

TENS is a form of therapy that uses low-frequency electrical currents to stimulate nerves and block pain signals from reaching the brain. It is a small device that generates electrical impulses intended to achieve analgesia.

How does TENS work?

When TENS is applied, the electrodes send small electrical currents through the skin, stimulating the underlying nerve fibers. These electrical currents can interfere with pain signals that travel along the nerves to the brain.

Benefits of TENS

Improves physical function: By reducing pain, TENS can help improve physical function and mobility, allowing patients to participate in daily activities with greater comfort.
