Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the transcutaneous application of unmodulated 5 Kilohertz (KHz) alternating currents are effective in decreasing the thermal and mechanical experimental pain and cause changes in peripheral nerve conduction. Moreover evidence whether the effect and comfort of this current is greater than Conventional TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) commonly used for the treatment of clinical pain.
