  2. Electrical muscle stimulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_muscle_stimulation

    Because of the characteristics of skeletal muscle fibers, different types of fibers can be activated to differing degrees by different types of EMS, and the modifications induced depend on the pattern of EMS activity. [24] These patterns, referred to as protocols or programs, will cause a different response from contraction of different fiber ...

    He designed a set of standardized protocols to triage patients via the telephone and thus improve the emergency response system. Protocols were first alphabetized by chief complaint that included key questions to ask the caller, pre-arrival instructions, and dispatch priorities. After many revisions, these simple cards have evolved into MPDS.

  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 ...

    Most microcurrent treatments concentrate on pain and/or speeding healing and recovery. [4] It is commonly used by professional and performance athletes with acute pain and/or muscle tenderness as it is drug-free and non-invasive, thus avoiding testing and recovery issues. It is also used as a cosmetic treatment. [5]

  6. Element management system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Element_management_system

    To support management of the traffic between itself and other NEs, the EMS communicates upward to higher-level network management systems (NMS) as described in the telecommunications management network layered model. The EMS provides the foundation to implement TMN–layered operations support system (OSS) architectures that enable service ...

  7. Eosinophilia–myalgia syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophilia–myalgia...

    [1] [2] The risk of developing EMS increases with larger doses of tryptophan and increasing age. [3] Some research suggests that certain genetic polymorphisms may be related to the development of EMS. [4] The presence of eosinophilia is a core feature of EMS, along with unusually severe myalgia (muscle pain). [5] [6] [7]

    Undertreatment of pain is the absence of pain management therapy for a person in pain when treatment is indicated. Consensus in evidence-based medicine and the recommendations of medical specialty organizations establish guidelines to determine the treatment for pain which health care providers ought to offer.
