The influence of stimulus control on the effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on experimental ischaemic pain
A review of the relevant literature suggested a number of unresolved issues in the most efficacious use of TENS for pain-relief including the degree of control and the frequency of TENS. The study investigated the influence of giving subjects control of the TENS stimulus on reported pain intensity …
