a small machine that can be operated by the patient to relieve pain and promote wound healing.
"Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation" - See Types of Electrotherapy.
Trans Cutaneous Electronic Nerve Stimulator, a unit that uses electrical impulses to stimulate nerves (usually to help control pain).
a machine which conducts small electrical
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator. An electrical modality sending a mild current through pad at the injury site which stimulate the brain to release the natural analgesic endorphin.
(Transutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation): Uses small electric currents to control pain. Pads are placed on or near the area of pain. Soothing pulses are sent via the pads through the skin and along the nerves fibres. The pulses suppress the pain signals to the brain. TENS also encourage the body to produce higher levels of its own natural pain killing chemicals called Endorphin and Encephalin.
An device which provides low voltage electrical stimulation which is administered via electrodes placed on the skin. Used to block pain sensation.
A method of relieving pain by sending painless electrical impulses from a machine to nerve endings through electrodes placed on the skin.
See Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
A type of therapy used to relieve pain that involves passing electricity to nerve cells through electrodes placed on the skin.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. A form of electrical anesthesia used to block pain perception.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. Modality for providing pain relief, in a portable form.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation-a technique for pain relief involving electrical stimulation of the skin surface with small electrodes.
Passes electricity to nerve cells through electrodes placed on the patient's skin. TENS is used to relieve pain.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation is a portable machine that stimulates natural pain relief via electrodes attached to your back.
Acronym for "transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation". A TENS unit is a small battery powered device with wires that attach to electrodes pasted to the skin. Small electrical stimuli are applied to the skin in order to "tie up" nerve pathways that carry pain messages. This interferes with the transmission of pain messages to the brain, and can be helpful in certain chronic pain problems.
transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. a therapy that uses low-level electrical currents to provide pain relief. In dentistry, TENS is one type of therapy that can be used to relax the jaw joint and facial muscles.
Tens, short for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, is a method of pain relief consisting of a pack of electrode pads placed on the back. It discharges an electrical stimulus that interferes with the passage of pain signals to the brain and may help the body to produce endorphins, its own pain-killing hormones. The pack has a hand-held control which can be used to vary the strength of the stimulus.
Delivery of an electric current through the skin to the nerves. Used in physical therapy and to relieve painful conditions such as neuralgia, sciatica, and arthritis. The low voltage electric current blocks the nerves reception of pain signals and possibly stimulates the production of endorphins, the body's pain-killing chemicals.
Transcutaneous Electronic Nerve Stimulation. A treatment for painful neuropathy.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. a noninvasive, nonanalgesic pain control technique that allows the client to assist in the management of acute and chronic pain
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve stimulation. A battery powered device which relieves pain by stimulating nerve endings with electrical impulses.
Trans-cutaneous nerve stimulation.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. A small battery-operated device, worn by the patient, which provides continuous electrical pulses via surface electrodes with the goal of providing symptomatic relief by modifying pain perception.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator. An electrical modality that sends a mild current through pads at the injury site which stimulates the brain to release the natural analgesic endorphin.
transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. a method of local electrical stimulation to nerve endings under the skin to provide pain relief.
Transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation. A technique in which mild electric currents are applied to some areas of the skin by a small power pack connected to two electrodes.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. a treatment designed to relieve pain by directing mild electrical impulses to nerves in the painful area of the body.
transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. a method of providing pain relief using electrical signals which are sent to the nerve endings.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. A method of providing pain relief using electrical signals applied to the skin and which calm the nerve endings.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. TENS, a CAM therapy useful to relieve labor pains, uses electrodes to stimulate nerve pathways to the uterus and cervix. The theory is that this stimulation jams other sensory inputs along those pathways, such as pain. The intensity of stimulation is controlled by the laboring woman.
TENS is a method of relieving pain by the application of a pulsed wave through electrodes on the skin.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. A device sometimes used to relieve pain in which electrodes attached to the skin send low amounts of electricity to the nerves. It is also known by the abbreviation TENS.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. A pain management technique and form of electrical stimulation to affected nerves and muscles that encourages the body to release pain-killing chemicals such as opiates and endorphins and blocks pain signals from being transmitted to the brain Normally used to treat chronic, or long-term pain in the lower back. BACK
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. The TENS unit is a device used for pain relief. It works by applying an electrical current to the affected nerves causing transfer of nerve impulses to be blocked.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. A method of relieving pain during childbirth, using non-painful nerve stimulation.
(transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) A device for relief of labor pain. Sticky pads are attached to a woman's back and electrical impulses are sent through her skin to stimulate nerve pathways to the uterus and cervix. This simulation jams other sensory inputs along those pathways, such as pain.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation – A type of treatment in which electrodes are attached to the skin and low amounts of electricity is sent to the affected nerves to block the pain sensation.
