  • Title: A new approach in the relief of pain of leprous neuritis.
    Author: Mehta JM, Nimbalkar ST, Thalayan K.
    Journal: Lepr India; 1979 Oct; 51(4):459-64. PubMed ID: 316482.
    Abstract:
    Transcutaneous Nerve Stimulation (TNS) has been known since the last several decades to relieve pain in many conditions. For the first time it was used in the treatment of the severe and agonizing pain caused by leprous neuritis with highly beneficial results without producing any side effects. This study was made on 40 patients, and in the majority of the cases there was total relief of pain with one application of a few hours duration. This encouraging result has led the authors to the conclusion that TNS could be a useful tool in a hospital where leprosy patients are treated.
