No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on pain and mobility by comparing different stimulation sitesP:

1. the location with the lowest resistance
2. the location that causes an irradiation sensation
3. a random stimulation site (but within a 10x10cm area of the irradiation site). The effect is defined as the pain VAS baseline-measurement before treatment minus the pain VAS repeat-measurement after the given treatment
