Findings of clinicalstudies about its effectivenes are not conclusive. On the contrary, the results from the studies on animal models of pain, which allow better control of experimental conditions, unequivocally demonstrate the effectiveness of TENS in reducing nociceptive activity. The mechanism of TENS action is not known. In the present review, the proposed basic mechanisms of analgesic action of TENS are summarizedTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlovensko zdravniško društvo
