The Effect of Pulse Frequency and Pad Size of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) on Experimental Blunt Pressure Pain in Healthy Participants

Chang Gung University·interventional·Posted Dec 3, 2013·Updated Dec 22, 2021

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Control TENS, Sham TENS, and 4 other interventions for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 180 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the antalgic of surface electrical stimulation with pulse frequencies and pad sizes on blunting pressure pain on healthy human due to various temporal and spatial summations of the stimulation.
