Popis:	Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a commonly used method of treating patients with pain, both acute and chronic. Although several hypotheses have been proposed, the mechanism by which TENS alters pain perception is still unknown. Symptomatic relief of pain adjunctive to a comprehensive program of pain management is the only justified indication for TENS use.
