Pain
We are in a whole new era of medical science where we increasingly see that methods previously only been used effectively in hospital, can now also be used at home.
TENS, which means "Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation" is one of them. The stimulation of nerves is via electrodes applied to the skin. The TENS device is a small, handy portable device.
TENS, designed for symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain. TENS is a safe non-invasive drug-free method of pain management. "Transcutaneous" means across the skin. It relieves pain by sending tiny electrical impulses through electrodes placed on or near the area of pain or pressure point to underlying nerve fibers.
TENS is a therefore a simple and easy by the patients themselves to carry out treatment. The patient is therefore less dependent on the therapist and can itself at any time of day self-treat if necessary.
