The placebo TENS device is identical, except it delivers only 2.5 mins of stimulation in the treatment period. Subjects were asked to wear the device for 5 hrs/day (i.e., 3 treatment sessions) for 6 weeks. The primary analysis used an ANCOVA with the 6-week EORTC-CIPN20 score as the...
Conclusion: The authors conclude that TENS is ineffective for the treatment of chronic low back pain, but is probably effective for reducing pain caused by diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Source: Dubinsky RM, Miyasaki J. Assessment: efficacy of transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation in the ...

Background: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is presently one of the main methods of treatment for neuropathic pain in type II diabetes mellitus. The discussion about which TENS frequency is more effective in the treatment of neuropathic pain has been ongoing for many years. Despite...
Throughout the 1970s, published clinical observations without control groups suggested that TENS alleviated pain, resulting in practitioners using TENS as an adjunct to core treatment. Throughout the 1980s, physiological research demonstrated that electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves inhibited ongoing...
