Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the antalgic of surface electrical stimulation with pulse frequencies and pad sizes on blunting pressure pain on healthy human due to various temporal and spatial summations of the stimulation.

Conditions

  • Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
  • Blunt Pressure Pain
  • Pad Size
  • Pulse Frequency
  • Analgesia

Interventions

DEVICE

Control TENS

Control TENS was the application of electrical stimulation via skin with no current

DEVICE

Sham TENS

High frequency TENS was delivered on large electrodes

DEVICE

Low frequency TENS with large pads

Low frequency TENS was delivered on large electrodes

DEVICE

High frequency TENS with small pads

High frequency TENS was delivered on small electrodes

DEVICE

Low frequency TENS with small pads

Low frequency TENS was delivered on small electrodes
