  • Title: [Sensitive electrodiagnostic examination in patients with chronic pain treated with transcutaneous stimulation electroanalgesia].
    Author: Maini M, Zelaschi F.
    Journal: G Ital Med Lav; 1983 Mar; 5(2):89-93. PubMed ID: 6608462.
    Abstract:
    The electrodiagnostic sensitive exam on patients suffering from a chronic pain treated which transcutaneous electroanalgesia stimulation. G. Ital Med Lav 1983; 5: 89 - 94. The AA carry out this exam before, during and after the sittings of electroanalgesia. The only parameter to vary in such research is the sensitive Reobase, which raises during the T.E.N.S. lasting unchanged for the all active period, turning then to the basal values within the following fifteen minutes at the end of application. As no other significant changes occur bath the frequency change of stimulus and the total period of application have no influence. What said above and the unchanged period of analgesic level after the return to the values of the sensitive Reobase when the T.E.N.S. is interrupted let us assume that such mechanism is of unspecific type and not involved in the mechanism of control of pain from the T.E.N.S. itself.
