Electrical Stimulation


Tran­scu­ta­neous elec­tri­cal nerve stim­u­la­tion (TENS) is the most com­mon form of elec­tri­cal stim­u­la­tion used in pain man­age­ment. It is not painful and does not require nee­dles or med­i­cine. TENS con­sists of a small, bat­tery-oper­at­ed device that can dimin­ish pain by stim­u­lat­ing nerve fibers through the skin.
