TENS introduction:
TENS is considered a method of pain relief,and has a wide
following for use in obstetric care, particularly labour.
What is TENS: Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator,
more commonly referred to as a TENS unit and pronounced
tens, is an electronic device that produces electrical
signals used to stimulate nerves through unbroken skin.The
name was coined by Dr.Charles Burton. The unit is usually
connected to the skin using two or more electrodes.A
typical battery-operated TENS unit consists of a pulse
generator, small transformer,frequency and intensity
controls, and a number of electrodes.Uses of TENSTENS is
considered a method of pain relief, and has a wide
following for use in obstetric care, particularly
labour.In palliative care and pain medicine, TENS units
are sometimes used in an attempt to alleviate neuropathic
pain (pain due to nerve damage).
TENS Functions:
This physical therapy device can used for massager,health
care and relieve pain,treat some common diseases,for
example: rheumatoid arthritis, muscle aging, stiff neck,
cervical spine disease, degenerative joint disease, lumbar
hypertrophy
TENS therapeutic Principle:
The gate control theory of pain was put forward by Ronald
Melzack and Patrick Wall in 1965. They proposed that there
was a “gate” mechanism in the central nervous system that
opened to allow pain messages through to the brain and
closed to prevent them getting through.
When we feel pain, such as when we touch a hot stove,
sensory receptors in our skin send a message via nerve
fibres (A-delta fibres and C fibres) to the spinal cord
and brainstem and then onto the brain where the sensation
of pain is registered, the information is processed and
the pain is perceived.
The gate theory says that as these pain messages come into
the spinal cord and the central nervous system (before
they even get to the brain), they can be amplified, turned
down or even blocked out.There are many accounts of how
people injured on the battlefield or in sports games don’t
feel any pain from their injuries until afterwards. This
has to do with the brain being busy doing other things and
shutting the gate until it can pay attention to the
messages. Large diameter nerve fibres (A-beta fibres)
responsible for transmitting signals of touch to the brain
have the ability to close the pain gate and so block
signals from other smaller diameter nerve fibres which
transmit pain.
An example of this would be when a child falls over and
hurts their knee --if they rub the knee, the signal from
that sensation of touch temporarily blocks the pain signal
travelling from the injured knee to the brain.
TENS Applications:
1. Relaxation of Muscle spasm.
2.Prevention or Retardation of disuse atrophy.
3.Increasing local blood circulation.
4.Muscle re-education.
5.Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to
6.Prevent venous thrombosis.
7.Maintaining or increasing range of motion.
