What is meant by TENS?

TENS is an acronym for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator. It is a non-pharmacological mode of treatment that uses low-voltage electrical current for pain alleviation. It is the utilization of electric current delivered by a gadget to stimulate the nerves for restorative purposes.

TENS, by definition, covers the complete scope of transcutaneous connected streams utilized for nerve excitation in spite of the fact that the term is frequently utilized with a more prohibitive aim, to be specific to portray the sort of pulses created by compact stimulators used to treat pain.

Common Uses of TENS

It is most commonly used in the conditions of

Chronic pain (back aches)
Osteoarthritis mainly of knee joint
Sports injuries
Neck pain
Fibromyalgia
Tendinitis
Bursitis
In Acute pains (labor pains and after surgery)
Neuropathies (Diabetic Neuropathy)
Myopathies
Phantom limb pains
Cancer pain
Migraines
Tension related headaches
Rheumatoid arthritis
Soft tissue injuries
Muscle strains
Ligament sprains
Menstrual pains

How to use TENS?

TENS is a little, battery-controlled machine about the extent of a pocket radio. For the most part, you associate two terminals (wires that direct electrical current) from the machine to your skin. The electrodes are frequently set on the zone of pain or at pressure points, making a circuit of electrical impulses that goes along nerve fibers.

You can set the TENS machine for diverse wavelength frequencies, for example, an unfaltering stream of electrical current or a burst of electrical current, and for intensity of electrical current. Your physical therapist or physician more often decides these settings.

Benefits of TENS

It is believed that TENS has following benefits:

It helps in relieving pain at both sensory levels (By blocking pain gates following the pain gate theory) and motor level (by releasing body’s natural opiates endorphins and enkephalins)
Improves circulation
Facilitates healing
Decreases the use of other analgesics and pain relieving drugs
Increases range of motion
Improves functioning in activities of daily living
Improves pattern of sleep
Does not interfere in labor
No lasting side effects
Portable
Easy to purchase
Noninvasive treatment
Blocks nociceptive stimulus reaching at spinal cord and higher brain centers
Produces body’s natural pain killers
Reduces muscle spasms

Limitations of TENS

TENS are considered to be limited in the conditions

When you have pacemaker implanted in your body
Any electrical device fitted
In pregnancy (except labor pains)
In epilepsy
In cardiac problems
Broken skin
Varicose veins
Allergic reactions or scarring in area of skin where electrodes were placed
During operating or driving a machine
While taking shower or baths
Near eyes or mouth
In Alzheimer’s disease
In dementia or other cognitive problems

Controversies of TENS

Controversy exists as to its adequacy in the treatment of ceaseless pain; various systematic reviews or meta-examinations have affirmed its viability for postoperative pains, osteoarthritis, and interminable musculoskeletal torment.

On the other hand, results from the Bone and Joint Decade 2000-2010 Task Force on Neck Pain, reported in mid-2008, demonstrated no clinically critical advantage to TENS for the treatment of neck agony when contrasted with sham treatment.
