Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation - TENS
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, or TENS, is a therapy that requires the application of electrical currents through electrodes that are placed on the skin. The intensity of TENS is described as a solid, but comfortable sensation. Studies have shown that TENS is effective for a variety of painful conditions, although it is not yet commonly used in emergency department settings.
