The Effect of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation On Pain and Electrical Stimulation Muscle Thickness in Patients with non-specific chronic low back pain-based ultrasonographic evaluation
Abstract:Aim: The existing mechanisms of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) focuses more on the effect of neural tissue. This study investigated the effect of TENS on the thickness of the erector spinae muscles and reducing pain. Patients & methods: 56 individuals with low back pain participated in this single-blind, pre-posttest study. For two weeks, participants underwent ten sessions of TENS. The ultrasound evaluations examined the thickness of the erector spinae muscle, and the visual analog sca… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
