  2. Electroanalgesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroanalgesia

    Electroanalgesia is a form of analgesia, or pain relief, that uses electricity to ease pain. Electrical devices can be internal or external, at the site of pain (local) or delocalized throughout the whole body .

  3. Microcurrent electrical neuromuscular stimulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcurrent_electrical...

    A microcurrent electrical neuromuscular stimulator or MENS (also microamperage electrical neuromuscular stimulator) is a device used to send weak electrical signals into the body. Such devices apply extremely small microamp [uA] electrical currents (less than 1 milliampere [mA]) to the tissues using electrodes placed on the skin.

  4. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcutaneous_electrical...

    A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS or TNS) is a device that produces mild electric current to stimulate the nerves for therapeutic purposes.TENS, by definition, covers the complete range of transcutaneously applied currents used for nerve excitation, but the term is often used with a more restrictive intent, namely, to describe the kind of pulses produced by portable ...

  5. Neurostimulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurostimulation

    The primary findings about neurostimulation originated from the idea to stimulate nerves for therapeutic purposes. The 1st recorded use of electrical stimulation for pain relief goes back to 46 AD, when Scribonius Largus used torpedo fish (electric ray) for relieving headaches. [47]

  6. Electrical muscle stimulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_muscle_stimulation

    This is distinct from transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), in which an electric current is used for pain therapy. "The main difference is the desired outcome. TENS unit is a medical device for pain relief. The desired outcome is to reduce pain by stimulating different nerve signals.

  7. Electrotherapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrotherapy

    Electrotherapy is the use of electrical energy as a medical treatment. [1] In medicine, the term electrotherapy can apply to a variety of treatments, including the use of electrical devices such as deep brain stimulators for neurological disease. The term has also been applied specifically to the use of electric current to speed up wound healing.

  8. Spinal cord stimulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord_stimulator

    A spinal cord stimulator (SCS) or dorsal column stimulator (DCS) is a type of implantable neuromodulation device (sometimes called a "pain pacemaker") that is used to send electrical signals to select areas of the spinal cord (dorsal columns) for the treatment of certain pain conditions.

  9. Scrambler therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrambler_therapy

    The electrical signals in scrambler therapy are thought to stimulate C-fibers of the affected dermatomes. These nerve fibers then transmit the electrical signal to the brain (via the spinal cord) and lead to changes in pain perception in the central nervous system. [6] These changes include decreased central nervous system hyper-responsiveness ...
