  • Title: [Evaluation of transcutaneous electrostimulation in the management of post-tonsillectomy pain in adults].
    Author: Lombard B, Tomasi M, Charpentier P, Drouet Y, Salgas P.
    Journal: Rev Laryngol Otol Rhinol (Bord); 1996; 117(2):89-92. PubMed ID: 8959926.
    Abstract:
    Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), has been known for many years, especially in neurosurgery for the treatment of chronic pain syndromes. The authors report the results of the use of this technique in 45 adults feeling acute pain after tonsillectomy. Spontaneous pain and odynophagia were both studied. TENS was effective in 40 out of 45 patients, with full control or significant decrease of the pain. This harmless treatment appears to be attractive and needs larger studies.
