University Hospital Plymouth NHS Trust·interventional·Posted Dec 9, 2013·Updated Oct 8, 2019

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Trans-cutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Standard pain relief (ie. local anaesthetic with or without inhaled nitrous oxide) for Pain. Completed, enrolled 70 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The approach of this study will be to answer the question does high-frequency stimulation Trans-Cutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) alleviate the pain experienced during the bone marrow sampling procedure in addition to the standard analgesia given (ie. local anaesthetic with or without inhaled nitrous oxide). Null hypothesis: TENS does not alleviate the pain experienced during the bone marrow sampling procedure in addition to the standard analgesia given

Interventions

Trans-cutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)device

Patients in whom a bone marrow biopsy is planned will be randomised to one of two groups - a Placebo Comparator group where the TENS machine will be set at the lowest sensory threshold and an Active Comparator group where the TENS machine will be set at a recognised analgesic level (\>50Hz and below the pain threshold for the patient).

Standard pain relief (ie. local anaesthetic with or without inhaled nitrous oxide)drug

All patients will receive standard pain relief (ie. local anaesthetic with or without inhaled nitrous oxide)
