Analgetic transcutaneous electrostimulation with the newly-designed Soviet-made ELIMAN-101 installation was used for treatment of tumor-induced pain in 84 cases (as a component of general intraoperative anesthesia--in 29, for postoperative pain--54, for analgesia in cases of advanced tumor--in 11 patients). Intraoperative application of the said procedure resulted in a 2.4-fold decrease in phentanyl consumption. In early postoperative period, pain was relieved in 65.6% and alleviated in 34.5% of patients, the latter requiring non-narcotic drugs as an adjunct to electroanalgetic treatment. Transcutaneous electrostimulation offered an adequate means for management of chronic cancer pain. The procedure did not involve resistance development and ensured a nearly 6-fold decrease in opiates consumption.

: Oropharyngeal dysphagia is a common swallowing disorder, characterized by difficulties in moving food and liquids from the mouth to the esophagus; it is particularly prevalent among older adults with neurological conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a short-term complex treatment protocol combining dietary modifications, swallowing exercises, and transcutaneous neuromuscular electrostimulation in reducing the oropharyngeal dysphagia severity and aspiration risk among geriatric patients. : A total of 64 participants aged 60 and older, with oropharyngeal dysphagia, at LSMU Kaunas Hospital between May 2021 and April 2023, were included in the study after excluding those with significant comorbidities.

Methods: This study has been designed with the purpose of studying the value of transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) in the postoperative pain rehabilitation of thoracotomy.
Effects of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) During Functional Activities or Exercise: A Systematic Review.

Article Synopsis
- TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is a commonly used non-drug treatment for pain relief, yet its effectiveness when used with exercise remains unclear, prompting this systematic review.
- The review analyzed six studies which focused on the use of TENS for different pain-related conditions, revealing mixed results on bias and efficacy.
- The conclusion suggests that using high-frequency, high-intensity TENS during exercise can enhance pain relief, but calls for more rigorous clinical trials to better establish its benefits.
Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation for Quality-of-Life Improvement and Sleep Deficiency in Women with Primary Dysmenorrhea: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

: Primary dysmenorrhea is a leading cause of chronic cyclic pelvic pain, contributing to a reduced quality of life and sleep disturbances in women. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) in improving the quality of life, sleep, and overall health perceptions of participants compared to a control group of women with dysmenorrhea over short-term, medium-term, and long-term periods. : A single-blind, controlled clinical trial was conducted, with participants randomly assigned to an experimental group (receiving TTNS) or a control group (receiving sham TTNS).

Primary dysmenorrhea is considered one of the main causes of pelvic pain during a woman's childbearing years, resulting in poor quality of life. The objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) in painful symptomatology improvement and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) intake reduction in women with primary dysmenorrhea (PD) compared with a control group in the short, medium, and long terms. A single-blind, controlled clinical trial was developed.
