Article Synopsis
- This study compares two types of transcutaneous neurostimulation (TENS) for treating chronic radicular pain: conventional high-frequency low-intensity current (c-TENS) vs. mixed current (m-TENS), which combines c-TENS with low-frequency high-intensity current.
- Seventy-four patients with chronic neuropathic pain participated in the trial and received both treatments in a randomized order over a month; the primary outcome measured was pain level using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
- Results showed no significant difference in pain relief between c-TENS and m-TENS, with similar tolerance levels for both, indicating that there’s no clear preference for either treatment method in managing chronic neuropathic radicular pain.
