▼ Background:
Spastic Cerebral palsy accounts for 70-80% of all types of Cerebral palsy. Spasticity as a major feature limits and restricts patients’ ability to walk, stand, sit, or roll effectively due to excessive muscle contraction interfering with lengthening of the affected muscles. It poses a challenge even though there are well known interventions. Rehabilitation which includes physiotherapy is one of the widely accepted interventions. Physiotherapists in other countries and in Ghana use stretches, splinting and motor control/ training treatment strategies to reduce spasticity. There is growing interest in the use of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) in the management of spasticity in Cerebral palsy. TENS is widely used as a pain management tool in Ghana. However, its use in spasticity management has not been explored and this study seeks to investigate the potential of TENS in the management of spasticity in Cerebral palsy, in Ghana.
GENERAL AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of TENS in the management of calf muscle spasticity among children with Cerebral palsy.
METHODOLOGY: This study was a Quasi-Experimental, One group Pre-test – Post-test design. Fifteen (15) children with spastic cerebral palsy who had spasticity in their calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) were recruited for this study. All participants had two different modes of spasticity assessment electrophysiologically using the H reflex responses of calf muscles and clinically using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS). A biomechanical assessment was conducted using the Goniometer to assess Range of Motion (ROM) at the ankle joint in ankle dorsiflexion. All participants then received TENS application to the calf muscles
for a duration of thirty (30) minutes after which the H-reflex response, MAS and ROM were assessed again respectively, after the intervention. MAS and ROM carried out before and after the intervention were assessed twice for intrarater reliability. Statistical analysis was done using Mann Whitney U test, Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient and Wilcoxon sign rank test. Predictor analysis was also done to evaluate whether application of TENS could lead to low MAS scores.
RESULTS: Results from this study showed that there was no significant difference (p>0.05) between left and right H reflex responses, MAS, and ROM scores at the baseline. There was no correlation (left: p = 0.133, right: p = 0.479) between pre-test left and right H reflex Amplitude (HA) scores and the MAS scores. After application of TENS, there was a reduction in spasticity of the calf muscles as measured by the H reflex, MAS, and ROM. However, only the left sided measures were statistically significant (p = 0.011) for the H reflex Amplitude whilst this asymmetry was not seen in MAS (left: p = 0.009, right: p = 0.004) and ROM (left: p = 0.02, right: p = 0.003).
CONCLUSION: TENS may be an effective tool for managing spasticity in spastic Cerebral palsy by reducing neuronal excitability. The asymmetry in response…

▼ Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) has been used as a neuromodulation therapy for overactive bladder (OAB). There has been limited efficacy shown with non-invasive neuromodulation therapies compared to percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation. TENS therapy has been explored as using the tibial nerve, but preclinical data suggests that during tibial nerve stimulation there is coactivation of the saphenous nerve and that the plantar nerves may be better nerve targets. The goal of this research is to characterize the selective activation of lower leg afferents when stimulated with TENS and to determine the therapeutic efficacy of stimulating the saphenous nerve with TENS for OAB therapy. The clinical studies in this research suggest that the saphenous may be a good nerve target for therapy and its efficacy is explored. Based on these findings, TENS may provide patients with a convenient at-home treatment for OAB allowing them to manage their symptoms.

▼ Retinal degeneration (RD) is the degradation of retina with progressive death of the retinal cells, which causes visual impairment such as tunnel vision, retinal detachment, loss of peripheral vision to total loss of vision. Trans-scleral electrical stimulation (TsES) therapy is proved to be a promising treatment for the retinal degenerative diseases, but the conventional wired therapy requires anesthesia at each treatment, which brings inconvenience and discomfort to the patients. A wireless solution is proposed that a miniaturized implantable medical device (IMD) is implanted underneath the skin and powered through wireless power transfer (WPT) methods. In this thesis, a wirelessly powered TsES system for experiments on freely moving rodents is implemented. Near-field inductive coupling is used for power transfer, and the power carrier frequency of 40.68MHz is chosen in consideration of the device volume. The IMD is controlled by a MCU program remotely, and the communication between the MCU and the IMD is realized through ASK data link and LSK back telemetry. The IMD is fabricated in standard 0.18μm CMOS process, and the MCU program is optimized for reliable communication. Besides, special packaging structure is previously adopted to guarantee the functionality and robustness of the TsES system for experiments on freely moving rodents. To enable more functions in the IMD, active rectification is used to enhance the power delivering capabilities. However, circuit delays including the comparator delay and gate drive propagation delay severely degrade the performance of active rectifiers. Current-injection based compensation scheme is commonly adopted to compensate for circuit delays, and is proved to be effective at frequency up to 13.56MHz. As the frequency goes up to 40.68MHz, current-injection based compensation becomes less competitive due to large power overhead and tricky control logic design. In this thesis, a delay compensation scheme is proposed to tackle the difficulties. The rectifier is fabricated in standard 0.18μm CMOS process, and its performance is verified with measurement results.

▼ INTRODUÇÂO: Fibromialgia é caracterizada como síndrome, a qual inclui dor muscular, fadiga e distúrbio do sono. Ansiedade e depressão estão freqüentemente associados, porém a causa é desconhecida. A intensidade da dor piora ao se deitar, durante a noite e no despertar. Normalmente a dor se difunde na região lombar e cervical. A TENS é um método não medicamentoso, estabelecido para controle da dor, o qual minimiza o consumo de analgésicos. OBJETIVOS: Este estudo visou avaliar a utilização de dispositivos de TENS simultâneos em pacientes portadores de Fibromialgia. MÉTODOS: Após aprovação do Comitê de Ètica em Pesquisa e consentimento, 39 pacientes portadores de Fibromialgia foram avaliados de forma prospectiva, aleatória e duplamente-encoberta. Avaliou-se a utilidade clínica de um novo, muito pequeno e leve dispositivo de a TENS (TANYX). Dois dispositivos de TENS, foram aplicados de forma simultânea em cada paciente: 1) na região lombar (perpendicular à coluna sobre L5), e 2) na região cervical (perpendicular à coluna, entre C7 e T1), durante 20-min, a cada 12 horas, durante 7 dias consecutivos (antes de se deitar, à noite, e antes de se levantar, pela manhã). Os pacientes foram divididos em 3 grupos (n=13). O grupo placebo (GP) utilizou adesivos que não transmitiam estímulo elétrico, semelhantes aos originais. O grupo de únicoTENS (TENS-1) (n=13), utilizou um adesivo de TENS ativo na área mais dolorida (cervical ou lombar) e placebo na área menos doloroa. O terceiro grupo (TENS-2) utilizou dois adesivos ativos de TENS nas áreas cervical e lombar, simultaneamente. Para controlar a dor, diclofenaco (50mg) foi utilizado como analgésico de resgate, até três vezes ao dia. Foram avaliados a intensidade da dor através da escala numérica visual (ENV 0-10 cm), consumo de analgésicos de resgate, qualidade do sono e fadiga. RESULTADOS: Os pacientes foram demograficamente semelhantes. 36 pacientes completaram o estudo. Três pacientes do grupo placebo desistiram no 4o dia de ausência de alívio da dor. A avaliação entre cada grupo antes e após o tratamento revelou que pacientes do grupo placebo não apresentaram alívio da dor (ENV 8 cm, p>0,05), da fatiga, ou melhora do padrão de sono, enquanto o grupo TENS-1 apresentou diminuição de 2,5 cm na ENV para dor (ENV anterior 8,5 cm e após 6 cm) (p<0,05). Finalmente, o grupo TENS-2 referiu redução de 4 cm na intensidade da dor (ENV anterior ao tratamento 8,5 cm e 4,3 cm após tratamento) (p<0,02). O consumo de analgésicos diários foi menor para TENS-1 (p<0,05) e TENS-2 (p<0,02). A comparação entre os 3 grupos revelou que a analgesia, qualidade de sono e melhora da fadiga foi: grupo TENS-2 > TENS-1 > GP (p<0,05). Os participantes consideraram os aparelhos ativos úteis. Não foram observados efeitos adversos. CONCLUSÕES: enquanto a aplicação de um dispositivo de TENS na área dolorida, lombar ou cervical, amenizou a dor em pacientes portadores de fibromialgia, a fadiga e a qualidade do sono foram minimizadas apenas quando dois dispositivos foram utilizados, demonstrando que este novo…

▼ This study examined the effects of two different frequencies of
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) on chronically
painful and stiff osteoarthritic knees. The effects studied were
changes in pain state, changes in stiffness state, changes in
circumference, and changes in range of movement.
Three groups, each of 20 subjects, were given a single 30 minute
application of TENS: the first group received High Rate (Conventional)
TENS, the second group received strong Burst Mode (Low Rate) TENS, and
the third (control) group received a placebo application using the
same active TENS with nonfunctioning leads. Each TENS frequency was
applied for the same length of time, at tolerable intensities, to
the same four acupuncture points around the knee.
Measurements of joint pain and stiffness using Absolute Visual
Analogue Scales were made immediately before and after the TENS
application. Objective measurements of joint circumference and range
of movement were also made immediately before and after the test,
using a tape measure and goniometer respectively. The length of time
the post-test pain and stiffness relief lasted was determined by the
subject reporting when his "normal" pain and stiffness returned.
These reports were collected 24 hours after the test.
The aim of the experiment was to establish the hypothesis that
strong Burst Mode TENS would produce significantly greater and longer
lasting effects than those produced by High Rate TENS.
The results from the study did not entirely support the hypothesis,
but the significance of the findings suggested that continuing
investigation into TENS action is warranted.

▼ BACKGROUND
Spastic Cerebral palsy accounts for 70-80% of all types of Cerebral palsy. Spasticity as a major feature limits and restricts patients’ ability to walk, stand, sit, or roll effectively due to excessive muscle contraction interfering with lengthening of the affected muscles. It poses a challenge even though there are well known interventions. Rehabilitation which includes physiotherapy is one of the widely accepted interventions. Physiotherapists in other countries and in Ghana use stretches, splinting and motor control/ training treatment strategies to reduce spasticity.

All participants had two different modes of spasticity assessment electrophysiologically using the H reflex responses of calf muscles and clinically using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS). A biomechanical assessment was conducted using the Goniometer to assess Range of Motion (ROM) at the ankle joint in ankle dorsiflexion. All participants then received TENS application to the calf muscles for a duration of thirty (30) minutes after which the H-reflex response, MAS and ROM were assessed again respectively, after the intervention. MAS and ROM carried out before and after the intervention were assessed twice for intrarater reliability. Statistical analysis was done using Mann Whitney U test, Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient and Wilcoxon sign rank test. Predictor analysis was also done to evaluate whether application of TENS could lead to low MAS scores.
RESULTS: Results from this study showed that there was no significant difference (p>0.05) between left and right H reflex responses, MAS, and ROM scores at the baseline. There was no correlation (left: p = 0.133, right: p = 0.479) between pre-test left and right H reflex Amplitude (HA) scores and the MAS scores. After application of TENS, there was a reduction in spasticity of the calf muscles as measured by the H reflex, MAS, and ROM. However, only the left sided measures were statistically significant (p = 0.011) for the H reflex Amplitude whilst this asymmetry was not seen in MAS (left: p = 0.009, right: p = 0.004) and ROM (left: p = 0.02, right: p = 0.003).
CONCLUSION: TENS may be an effective tool for managing spasticity in spastic Cerebral palsy by reducing neuronal excitability. The asymmetry in response to…

▼ Mainstream
electrical stimulation therapies, e.g., spinal cord
stimulation (SCS) and deep brain
stimulation, use pulse trains that are delivered at rates no higher than 200 Hz. In recent years,
stimulation of
nerve fibers using kilohertz-frequency (KHF) signals has received increased attention due to the potential to penetrate deeper in the tissue and to the ability to block conduction of action potentials. As well, there are a growing number of clinical applications that use KHF waveforms, including
transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) for overactive bladder and SCS for chronic pain. However, there is a lack of fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of action of KHF
stimulation. The goal of this research was to analyze quantitatively KHF neurostimulation. We implemented a multilayer volume conductor model of TES including dispersion and capacitive effects, and we validated the model with in vitro measurements in a phantom constructed from dispersive materials. We quantified the effects of frequency on the distribution of potentials and fiber excitation. We also quantified the effects of a novel transdermal amplitude modulated signal (TAMS) consisting of a non-zero offset sinusoidal carrier modulated by a square-pulse train. The model revealed that high-frequency signals generated larger potentials at depth than did low frequencies, but this did not translate into lower
stimulation thresholds. Both TAMS and conventional rectangular pulses activated more superficial fibers in addition to the deeper, target fibers, and at no frequency did we observe an inversion of the strength-distance relationship. In addition, we performed in vivo experiments and applied direct
stimulation to the sciatic
nerve of cats and rats. We measured electromyogram and compound action potential activity evoked by pulses, TAMS and modified versions of TAMS in which we varied the amplitude of the carrier.
Nerve fiber activation using TAMS showed no difference with respect to activation with conventional pulse for carrier frequencies of 20 kHz and higher, regardless the size of the carrier. Therefore, TAMS with carrier frequencies >20 kHz does not offer any advantage over conventional pulses, even with larger amplitudes of the carrier, and this has implications for design of waveforms for efficient and effective TES. We developed a double cable model of a dorsal column (DC) fiber to quantify the responses of DC fibers to a novel KHF-SCS signal. We validated the model using in vivo recordings of the strength-duration relationship and the recovery cycle of single DC fibers. We coupled the fiber model to a model of SCS in human and applied the KHF-SCS signal to quantify thresholds for activation and conduction block for different fiber diameters at different locations in the DCs. Activation and block thresholds increased sharply as the fibers were placed deeper in the DCs, and decreased for larger diameter fibers. Activation thresholds were > 5 mA in all cases and up to five times higher than for conventional (~ 50…

▼ A utilização da estimulação elétrica transcutânea do Nervo (TENS) utilizada para a indução de analgesia durante as fases do parto tem sido empregada por diversos centros de obstetrícia, com o objetivo de redução e/ou interrupção do uso de drogas, a fim de evitar efeitos colaterais materno-fetais. Ao realizarmos o presente trabalho, encontramos estudos realizados de forma descritivos e explicativos, mostrando á eficácia da corrente,e excluindo relatos dos efeitos colaterais no pós- natal imediato e tardio, incidindo sobre o recém-nascido, não têm sido relatados. Recentemente, com a modernização de técnicas de avaliação de genoma e proteoma, inúmeros trabalhos têm sido realizados evidenciando alterações fenotípicas tardias. Relatamos, neste trabalho, algumas das possíveis conseqüências longitudinais de tal procedimento, relacionados à Bio-eletrogênese.(Science,2004) Na realização deste estudo escolhemos o método: revisão sistemática que é um recurso importante da prática baseada em evidências, que consiste em uma forma de síntese dos resultados de pesquisas relacionados com um problema específico. O estudo tem como objetivo oferecer subsídios que proporcionem reflexões para a construção e/ou aplicação de revisões sistemáticas no cenário da atuação da fisioterapia na obstetrícia.. Para isto várias etapas foram cumpridas para avaliação quanto ao seu uso potencial em seres humanos. A etapa 1 refere-se a uma caracterização do problema, identificando a necessidade desta revisão, passando para uma proposta e desenvolvimento do projeto. A etapa 2 refere-se à utilização de bases de dados para averiguação de estudos pertinentes à extração dos dados relevantes, perfazendo um total de 25 artigos. Na etapa 3, para nossa surpresa, não identificamos parâmetros que pudessem ser utilizados para comparação e avaliação por testes estatísticos. A etapa 4 sintetiza o trabalho, por meio desta Dissertação ,que envolveu a aplicação de estratégias científicas, com a finalidade de limitar vieses, congrega, avalia criticamente e sintetiza todos os estudos relevantes que respondem a uma pergunta clínica específica; além disso, promove a atualização dos profissionais de saúde, uma vez que sintetiza amplo corpo de conhecimento e ajuda a explicar as diferenças entre estudos com a mesma questão clínica
Many Obstetrical Centers have been using T.E.N.S. (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) trying the reduction, or even the interruption of drugs on pain relief during labour. As we observe, only cross section studies were performed. No late effects were described. Recently, modern techniques have been used to evaluate the genomics and proteomics, and have also been able to detect gene mutations where proteomics change only later on cells life. Relate, in this work, some of the possible consequences of such a procedure longitudinal, related to the Bioeletrogenesis( Science,2004). In this study chose the method: systematic review that is a major feature of the practice based on evidence, which consists of a summary of the results of research…

▼ Pain is the oldest medical condition and has been referenced through the ages. TENS is a non-invasive treatment for pain. Despite conflicting reports of treatment outcomes, TENS has enjoyed widespread clinical utilization. Seminal work by Sluka and colleagues reported low frequency TENS produces anti-hyperalgesia through µ-opioid receptors and high frequency TENS produces anti-hyperalgesia through ä-opioid receptors in an animal model of inflammation. The experimental results suggested that pain can be reduced by both high and low frequency TENS but by differing opioid receptors. These important findings require translational experiments to be conducted in humans. Providing an adequate placebo for experimental investigation of any physical intervention presents as a challenge. An improvement in the placebo intervention is critical to ascertain the true effects of TENS on painful conditions. Clinical TENS experiments often only examine a single outcome - resting pain. Recent work suggests TENS is less effective on resting pain as compared to movement pain. Investigation to determine which outcome measures (pain at rest, movement pain, pain sensitivity, and function) are most likely to be affected by TENS in human subjects with pain are critical to inform the design of future studies. The least investigated parameter for application of TENS electrode site determination. One method of selection employs a technique of finding points on the skin with suspected lower impedance. To date, no literature exists to determine the effectiveness of this clinical practice and speculation has existed for decades regarding the existence of distinct
electrical properties associated with specific points on the body. This series of experiments accomplishes the goals of improving the TENS placebo, testing established parameters from basic science experiments in a patient population, testing multiple outcome measures to direct future investigation; and examined the effect of electrode site selection in TENS analgesia. These experiments were the first to establish a placebo that can 100% blind the TENS examiner, to test this placebo in a patient population, and to show that although there are differences in impedance between optimal and sham sites, that this difference had no effect in the amount of analgesia produced by TENS.

▼ Dentre as terapêuticas não-farmacológicas para o tratamento da dor inflamatória, vem ganhando destaque na literatura a neuroestimulação elétrica transcutânea (TENS). Entretanto, a literatura clínica sobre TENS é, às vezes, difícil de ser interpretada devido a limitações nos ensaios clínicos e pouco rigor metodológico. Outro fator controverso é a falta de padronização nos parâmetros da corrente assim como nas formas de aplicação dos eletrodos, ambos necessitando ser melhor elucidados. Objetivos: a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar se as diferentes localizações de eletrodos interfeririam na anti-hiperalgesia promovida pela TENS de baixa freqüência em um modelo de dor inflamatória. Métodos: Utilizando-se caolina e carragenina (3%), induziu-se a osteoartrite, modelo de dor inflamatória, em joelhos de ratos. Foram utilizados 25 ratos machos da linhagem Wistar, divididos de acordo com a localização dos eletrodos em 5 grupos (n=5, em cada grupo), sendo eles: dermátomo ipsilateral, dermátomo contralateral, região paravertebral, pontos de acupuntura (Bp6 e E36) e controle. Em todos os grupos, foram mensurados antes e pós a aplicação da corrente a hiperalgesia térmica, a hiperalgesia mecânica secundária e o edema da articulação do joelho. A TENS foi aplicada com a frequência de estimulação de 4 Hz, duração de pulso (100 μs), intensidade sensorial por 20 minutos durante 5 dias consecutivos. Para medidas entre grupos foram utilizados o teste de Kruskal-wallis e ANOVA seguido pelo post hoc teste de Tukey. Para medidas intra grupos foram utilizados os testes de Wilcoxon Matched Pairs e teste t. Os valores de p <0,05 foram considerados significativos. Resultados: Após a aplicação da TENS com os eletrodos posicionados no dermátomo ipsilateral, dermátomo contralateral, na paravertebral e em pontos de acupuntura, observou-se uma redução significativa na hiperalgesia térmica e na hiperalgesia mecânica quando comparado ao grupo controle e ao pré-tratamento em cada grupo. Entretanto, não houve diferença significativa para a medida do edema articular. A intensidade de estimulação foi significativamente inferior no dermátomo contralateral em comparação aos demais locais de aplicação dos eletrodos. Os dados de latência, limiar mecânico e de intensidade mostram uma tendência a tolerância aos efeitos da TENS a partir do quinto de sua aplicação. Conclusão: Os achados sugerem que o efeito analgésico promovido pela TENS não depende do local de aplicação dos eletrodos, sugerindo ação da TENS no sistema nervoso central.
Among the non-pharmacologic therapy resources for inflammatory pain treatment, transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) has been gaining attention in the literature. However, the clinical literature on TENS is sometimes difficult to be interpreted due to limitations in clinical trials and little methodological rigor. Another controversial issue is the lack of standardization in the parameters of the current as well as the ways of application of the electrodes, both needing to be better elucidated.…

▼ A Eletroestimulação nervosa transcutânea (TENS) é um recurso não invasivo que tem como principal finalidade o alívio da dor. A dor perineal pós-episiotomia é uma queixa frequente no puerpério que pode interferir em diversas atividades diárias das puérperas. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da TENS de alta e baixa frequência no alívio da dor de puérperas pós-episiotomia. Trata-se de um estudo clínico, randomizado, controlado e duplo cego com placebo, composto por 32 puérperas submetidas ao parto normal com episiotomia. As participantes foram divididas em três grupos, TENS alta frequência (TAF), TENS baixa frequência (TBF) e TENS placebo (TP). Os eletrodos foram posicionados paralelamente, próximos a episiotomia, na região dos nervos pudendo e genitofemural. O grupo TAF recebeu frequência de 100 Hz e largura de pulso de 100 ?s e o grupo TBF recebeu frequência de 5 Hz com largura de pulso de 100 ?s. No grupo TP o aparelho permaneceu ligado, mas não emitiu estímulo elétrico. A duração da aplicação da TENS foi de 30 minutos. Inicialmente, foi preenchido o formulário de dados, composto pelas variáveis relacionadas à identificação das puérperas, dados sócio-demográficos, obstétricos, do trabalho de parto e parto atual, do recém-nascido e requisição e/ou consumo de recurso de alívio de dor. Foram realizadas quatro avaliações. A avaliação inicial ocorreu antes da TENS. As puérperas que referiram presença de dor na episiotomia responderam a escala visual numérica (EVN) na posição repouso e aos movimentos sentar e deambular. Na verificação da limitação funcional, as puérperas responderam questões referentes às atividades de vida diárias que estavam limitadas. A segunda avaliação foi iniciada imediatamente após a retirada da TENS, sendo aplicado a EVN nas mesmas atividades avaliadas anteriormente. Nos três grupos de estudo foi aplicado o instrumento da opinião da puérpera em relação ao uso da TENS. A terceira avaliação ocorreu após 30 minutos da retirada da TENS, houve nova avaliação da dor apenas para a posição repouso. A quarta avaliação foi realizada após se passarem 60 minutos da retirada da TENS, foi feita a última avaliação da dor na posição repouso. Na coleta de dados, um examinador ficou responsável pelas avaliações da dor e pelo preenchimento da ficha de avaliação e o outro pela aplicação da TENS. Foram utilizados testes estatísticos não paramétricos, com nível de significância de p <= 0.05. A análise descritiva foi usada para apresentação dos dados. Na análise intragrupo foi verificada nos grupos TAF e TBF diferença estatística significativa na intensidade da dor na posição repouso e nas atividades sentar e deambular, não houve diferença significativa nas avaliações analisadas no grupo TP. Nos resultados da análise intergrupo, houve diferença estatística significativa na posição repouso e sentar nos grupos TAF e TBF. Não foi verificada diferença estatística significativa entre os três grupos na atividade deambular. A TENS nas frequências alta e baixa demonstrou ser eficaz no alívio de dor das puérperas…

▼ Durante a amamentação ocorre a liberação de ocitocina para a ejeção do leite, que desencadeia a contração uterina, associada a processo doloroso. A Eletroestimulação Nervosa Trânscutânea (TENS) é um recurso fisioterapêutico que tem como função o alívio da dor. O objetivo principal deste estudo foi avaliar a efetividade da TENS para alívio de dor de contração uterina durante a amamentação em multíparas após o parto vaginal. Como objetivo específico visou mensurar e caracterizar a dor de contração uterina e identificar queixas álgicas durante a amamentação. Trata-se de um estudo clínico controlado e randomizado, composto por 32 multíparas após o parto vaginal, durante a amamentação. O estudo foi desenvolvido dentro dos padrões éticos, sendo aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Escola de Enfermagem de Ribeirão Preto - USP. O estudo foi realizado em uma maternidade no interior do estado de São Paulo. As participantes foram alocadas de maneira aleatória, no alojamento conjunto. As participantes foram divididas em dois grupos, o grupo experimental (GE) que recebeu a aplicação de TENS convencional e o grupo controle (GC). Para o GE os eletrodos da TENS convencional foram posicionados na região paravertebral (T10-L1 e S2- S4), programado para gerar frequência de 80Hz, duração de pulso de 100?s e amplitude ajustada para produzir sensação forte e tolerável. O aparelho foi aplicado por 40 minutos. As puérperas foram avaliadas pela Escala de Categoria Numérica (NRS) e pela Intensidade de Dor Presente (PPI), em duas mamadas, correspondentes a primeira e segunda avaliação. Durante a primeira avaliação as puérperas foram questionadas quanto as características da dor e a presença de outras queixas dolorosas. Na segunda avaliação, o GE recebeu a TENS convencional durante a amamentação e o GC foi apenas acompanhado pelo mesmo período. Após a retirada da TENS do GE e acompanhamento do GC, as mulheres foram questionadas novamente em relação ao nível de dor. Ao final, as puérperas do GE responderam sobre a satisfação do tratamento e desconforto da corrente. Foi realizada análise descritiva para apresentação dos dados e análise comparativa entre os grupos, por meio de teste nãoparamétrico, com nível de significância p<=0,05. A dor de contração uterina apresentou as seguintes características: profunda, localizada em região de baixo ventre e ritmada. O início e diminuição da dor associaram-se com o início e término da sucção, respectivamente. As queixas dolorosas associadas foram dor nas mamas, na região perineal, nos membros superiores e inferiores, na região cervical e na coluna. O PPI indicou que as maiorias das participantes tiveram dor avaliada como moderada e o nível de dor pela NRS foi de 5,53. Na análise intragrupo o GE apresentou redução significativa da dor pela NRS (p<0,0001) após o uso da TENS. O GC também mostrou redução significativa da dor entre a primeira e segunda avaliação (p=0,04). Na análise intergrupo, o GE teve redução significativa da dor pelo PPI (p<0,001) e pela NRS (p<0,01) quando comparado ao GC. As…

▼ Em vista ao alto índice de cesárea no Brasil e ao projeto de humanização do ciclo gravídico-puerperal, observa-se a importância de pesquisar e utilizar recursos nãofarmacológicos que auxiliem na recuperação de mulheres no puerpério imediato da cesárea. A dor e o desconforto estão presentes em razão da cirurgia e dos movimentos necessários para o autocuidado e os cuidados com o recém-nascido. A Eletroestimulação Nervosa Transcutânea (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation - TENS) é uma modalidade terapêutica comumente utilizada para alívio de dor, inclusive dor aguda pós-operatória. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a efetividade da TENS no alívio de dor após cesárea. Para isto, foi realizado estudo clínico controlado, randomizado e simples-cego. Participaram do estudo 20 puérperas no grupo experimental que receberam a TENS e 20 no grupo controle, em que apenas a dor era avaliada. As puérperas foram avaliadas quanto às limitações de atividades decorrentes da dor pós-operatória. Para avaliar a dor foi usada a Escala de Categoria Numérica (Numeric Rating Scale - NRS) e o Questionário de Dor McGill. Foi feita uma primeira avaliação seguida da aplicação da TENS para o grupo experimental, por 45 minutos, e o acompanhamento do grupo controle pelo mesmo tempo. Após este período foi realizada uma segunda avaliação e, uma hora após, uma terceira avaliação. As puérperas apresentaram limitação nos movimentos de sentar e levantar e caminhar. A dor caracterizava-se, principalmente como ritmada e localizada. Os descritores mais comumente citados para descrevê-la foram \"dolorido\", \"que prende\", \"cólicaë \"que repuxa\". Os maiores escores de dor foram relacionados aos movimentos de sentar e levantar e caminhar. Por meio de teste não paramétrico de Mann-Whitney, foi possível observar que o grupo experimental apresentou redução da dor estatisticamente significante maior que o grupo controle na segunda e na terceira avaliação pela NRS (p<0,001) e pelo McGill (p<0,001). Conclui-se que a TENS foi eficaz no alívio da dor, que permaneceu por, pelo menos, uma hora após a aplicação. Há a necessidade de mais pesquisas, possibilitando a utilização da TENS na prática clínica e como recurso não-farmacológico de humanização no puerpério de cesárea.
On the strengh of the large number of cesareans in Brazil and concerning the humanizing project of the pregnancy-puerperal cycle, it can be observed the importance of researching and prescribing non-pharmacological resources that can help by the recovery of puerperal women from the cesarean section. The pain and the discomfort by reason of the surgery and of those necessary movements for the self-help and to take care of the baby. The Transcutanous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a therapeutic technique commonly used for easing the pain, including the post-operating acute pain. The objective of this research is to analyze the effectiveness of the TENS in the pain relief after cesarean. Hence a simple-blind and a random clinical-controlled study was done. Twenty puerperal women…

▼ Introdução. O uso da Estimulação Elétrica Nervosa Transcutânea (TENS) para o tratamento da dor pós-operatória tem sido objeto de estudo há alguns anos. Todavia, em quase a totalidade dos trabalhos, a TENS foi aplicada somente após os procedimentos cirúrgicos, à exceção de uma única pesquisa em que foi empregada no período pré-operatório. Em ambas as situações, esse recurso foi eficiente para o tratamento da dor, seja por meio da redução da sua intensidade ou do consumo de analgésicos. Porém, ainda hoje, não se sabe qual o papel que o seu momento de aplicação (somente antes da cirurgia; apenas após a operação; ou antes e após) pode vir a exercer no grau de analgesia obtido. Objetivo. Analisar a influência do momento de aplicação da TENS, na modalidade de alta freqüência, como recurso analgésico em pacientes do sexo masculino submetidos a herniorrafias inguinais pela técnica de Bassini. Casuística e método. A pesquisa clínica, controlada, aleatória e duplamente encoberta foi realizada no Hospital São José, entre abril de 2007 e junho de 2008, com amostra de 125 pacientes, distribuídos em 5 grupos: TENS depois (n = 25), TENS antes (n = 25), TENS antes e depois (n = 25), Placebo (n = 25) e Controle (n = 25). Todas as anestesias foram realizadas via raquidiana, com cloridrato de bupivacaína (0,5%); e a medicação analgésica utilizada no pós-operatório foi: dipirona, como medicação de resgate; e cetoprofeno, em horário programado. A mensuração da dor foi feita com a escala numérica (0-10 cm) e com a versão brasileira do Questionário de Dor McGill (Br-MPQ). Foram considerados estatisticamente significantes os valores de p 0,05. Resultados. Os grupos que foram tratados com a TENS apresentaram redução significante da dor, sendo os resultados mais expressivos naqueles pacientes em que a TENS foi aplicada tanto no período pré, quanto pós-operatório (TENS antes e depois). Houve também redução significante da administração de dipirona no período pós-operatório. Conclusão. O uso pré e pós-operatório da modalidade de alta freqüência da TENS, em pacientes submetidos a herniorrafias inguinais com técnica de Bassini, proporcionou analgesia mais satisfatória do que aquela obtida somente com a aplicação em um desses momentos.
Introduction. The use of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) to treat postoperative pain has been searched lately. However, in the most of studies, TENS has been applied only after surgeries, excepting one where TENS was utilized before. In the two situations, this resource has presented good benefits for pain treatment, observed not only by a reduction in its intensity but also in consumption of analgesics. Nevertheless, there is a doubt about the role that TENS applications moment can exert in analgesias level obtained in the postoperative period. Objective. To analyze the influence of applications moment of high frequency TENS as an analgesic resource in male patients submitted to inguinal herniorraphy (Bassini technique). Cases and method. It was a placebo-controlled, randomized and…

▼ A endometriose pélvica é uma doença ginecológica que frequentemente vem associada à dismenorréia, dor pélvica crônica e dispareunia. Apesar da existência de inúmeros tratamentos para o controle da dor, a estimulação elétrica transcutânea pode ser uma proposta de analgesia para essas mulheres por apresentar bons resultados em outras condições crônicas de dor. Os objetivos desta pesquisa foram determinar a eficácia da estimulação elétrica transcutânea (TENS) no controle dos sintomas dolorosos em mulheres com endometriose pélvica; verificar a incidência de pontos gatilhos, localizando-os e correlacionando com a intensidade da dor e avaliar o uso da TENS conforme estadiamento da endometriose pélvica. O estudo foi randomizado, prospectivo e cego, com 42 mulheres portadoras de endometriose pélvica comprovada pela videolaparoscopia e biopsia, sem doenças associadas, distribuídas em: grupo TENS (n=22) e grupo controle (n=20). O grupo TENS utilizou a estimulação elétrica transcutânea com trens de pulso por 27 sessões de 30 min; no grupo controle as mulheres foram submetidas ao uso do TENS através do mesmo protocolo, mas sem a passagem de corrente terapêutica (placebo). A dor foi quantificada pela escala visual numérica (EVN) antes e depois de cada sessão nas vinte sete sessões e após trinta dias do final das sessões; e aplicou-se o questionário de McGill no início das sessões (antes), após a vigésima sétima sessão (durante) e após trinta dias (depois). A localização dos pontos gatilhos foi realizada através do algômetro de pressão. A análise estatística foi realizada pelo teste Mann-Whitney e teste de Friedman e, nas variáveis dicotômicas, pelo teste exato de Fisher. Na análise dos resultados, observou-se uma redução significativa da dor antes e depois de cada aplicação da TENS, ao término das 27 sessões e depois de trinta dias do término do tratamento (p <0,04, p <0,001 e p <0,05, respectivamente) do grupo TENS em relação ao grupo controle. Observou-se uma redução significativa no número de trigger e tender points no grupo TENS em relação ao grupo controle (p = 0,004). Não houve diferença na percepção da sintomatologia dolorosa em mulheres com endometriose em estádio inicial (estádios I/II) quando comparadas aos estádios avançados (estádios III/IV) durante e depois da aplicação da TENS (p >0,05) no grupo TENS. Concluiu-se que o uso da TENS é eficaz no tratamento e no controle imediato da dor pélvica em mulheres com endometriose pélvica e na redução dos pontos gatilhos.

▼ Bakgrund: Vid smärtsamma muskuloskeletalatillstånd är patienten beroende av sjuksköterskans omvårdnadsåtgärder och stöd till smärtlindring. Transkutan elektrisk nervstimulering (TENS) är en icke farmakologisk smärtlindringsmetod som med fördel kan kombineras med analgetiska läkemedel vid både akuta och långvariga smärttillstånd. För att optimera smärtlindringen i vardagen vid långvarig smärta kan patienten utbildas i att använda TENS i sin egenvård. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva effekten av transkutan elektrisk nervstimulering som en del av smärtbehandlingen för personer med muskuloskeletala smärttillstånd. Metod: Allmän litteraturstudie med induktiv ansats där två kvalitativa artiklar samt sju kvantitativa artiklar granskats. Resultat: I resultatet framkom två teman: TENS effekt vid akut smärtaoch TENS effekt vid långvarig smärta. Resultatet visade att behandling med TENS kunde ge adekvat smärtlindring och var en säker metod med få negativa konsekvenser för patienten. Det framkom även att behandlingen medförde en reducering av intag av analgetiska preparat för patienterna. Patienter som behandlades med TENS visade även på en högre grad av fysisk funktion och psykiskt välbefinnande. Konklusion: För sjuksköterskans omvårdnad av patienter med muskuloskeletala tillstånd ter sig TENS vara en effektiv och säker omvårdnadsåtgärd med fler fördelar än enbart smärtlindrande effekt. Kunskap och utbildning för sjuksköterskan av denna behandlingsmetod kan ge sjuksköterskan ytterligare verktyg för multimodal omvårdnad av både akut och långvarig smärta. Sjuksköterskans kunskap om TENS ger även möjlighet till patientutbildning och kan stärka patientgruppens möjlighet till egenvård vid smärta.
Background: In painful musculoskeletal conditions, the patient is dependent on the nurse's nursing measures and support for pain relief. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a non-pharmacological pain relief method that can be advantageously combined with analgesic drugs for both acute and long-term pain conditions. To optimize the pain relief in everyday life in the event of long-term pain, the patient can be trained in using TENS in their self-care. Aim: The aim was to describe the effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation as part of the pain treatment for people with musculoskeletal pain conditions. Method: A General literature study with inductive approach, where two qualitative articles and seven quantitative articles were examined. Results: The results revealed two themes: TENS effect in acute pain and TENS effect in long lasting pain. The results showed that treatment with TENS could provide adequate pain relief and was a safe method with few negative consequences for the patient. Itwas also found that the treatment resulted in a reduction in the intake of analgesic pharmaceuticals for the patients. Patients treated with TENS also showed a higher degree of physical function and mental well-being. Conclusion: For the nurse's nursing of patients with musculoskeletal conditions, TENS appears to…

▼ This thesis deals with the contribution of topical lidocaine infusion to facial pain, headache and cervical pain. Topical injection of lidocaine was applied as a monotherapy but also as a combined method with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and passive muscle stretching. In the case of facial pain only 1% or 2% lidocaine was applied, whereas in headache and cervical pain the combination of three steps was applied in the following order: a) TENS application, b) local infusion of 1% or 2% lidocaine with intramuscular infiltration and/or nerve blockade and muscular stretching with both hands by the physician. The purpose of the study was to confirm the pain relieving effect of lidocaine in pain syndromes, to investigate the duration of pain relief or remission after four sessions of therapy, and finally to investigate the possible reduction in the use of analgesics by patients, with subsequent benefits the minimization of potential systemic side effects as well as the lowering of financial costs.Material and method. A total of 67 cases of patients with facial pain, headache and cervical pain were studied in a total of 4 sessions, with a frequency of one session per week. The pain Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) numbered from 1 to 10 was used. Neurological control and magnetic resonance imagining (MRI) help to exclude damage to the central nervous system, spinal nerves and pain due to malignant processing. Results. In the facial pain group, most of the 17 patients showed a satisfactory improvement in the one month that the 4 sessions were completed and very satisfactory in the 3 months and the 6 months of the re-examination. For the 18 patients in the headache group, there was a slight improvement in treatment completion, with a better picture at 3 months and maintenance of this moderate improvement after 6 months. For the 32 patients with cervical pain, there was improvement in the first month, better picture at 3 months and 6 months follow up. There was a decrease of diferent grade in oral analgesic intake in all three groups one month after the first session, with much better results in the group of patients with facial pain where the rate of discontinuation of analgesics reached 70,58%, while the remaining 29,42% decreasd overall their use. In headache cases, 11,11% discontinued analgesics in the first month of treatment and 88,88% reduced them. In cases of cervical pain, 25% discontinued analgesics and 75% decreasd overall their use in the first month. Conclusion. Topical lidocaine infusion combined with TENS and muscular stretching for headache and neck pain and lidocaine infusion with muscular streching for facial pain has proven to be a promising method.

▼ Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is one of the physical neuromodulation methods that stimulate a
nerve and potentially its adjacent
nerve fibers. To make this method more effective, it would be of value to design new electrodes that only target a specific
nerve and prevent the co-
stimulation of an adjacent
nerve.
In this dissertation, different scenarios of tissue and blood capillary placements were analyzed through multiphysics simulation of a 3D model and the best microneedle array electrode was suggested as a new electrode for
nerve stimulation. These studies showed that the design of the microneedle array plays a critical role in presenting a uniform electric field to a target
nerve and the resulting performance benefits. Analysis showed that microneedle array electrodes can increase the distinguishability between a target
nerve fiber and its adjacent
nerve fibers up to 10% compared to conventional surface electrodes. Uniform electric field, effective thermal behaviour and consistent current density in different depths of tissue are the other advantages of using microneedle electrodes for
stimulation. Different
stimulation parameters were investigated and the analysis showed that the geometry of the microneedles on top of the electrodes, such as their tip-to-tip pitch, their numbers and shape can affect performance.
Microneedle arrays were fabricated and used for experimental verification of performance benefits. One study explored polymer microneedles molded from a polycarbonate master. They were coated with titanium and titanium-nitride to increase the mechanical strength, and molybdenum (which is a biocompatible metal) to increase the conductivity of the structure. In clinical study it was found that they enhanced the tissue-electrode interface parameters, such as decreasing the resistance and increasing the double-layer capacitance. In another study, low cost microneedle arrays were printed using 3D printing technology. In a clinical study comparing with the molded microneedles, it was found that the 3D printed ones had better high frequency performance (such as for EMG), and the molded microneedles performed better for low frequency signals (such as for EEG).

▼ A artrite reumatóide é uma doença inflamatória crônica associada a alta morbidade, perda da produtividade e redução da expectativa de vida. Os pacientes requerem uma atendimento multidisciplinar para o controle da doença, reduzindo a inflamação e prevenindo a atrofia e deformação articulares. A estimulação elétrica nervosa transcutânea (TENS) tem se demonstrado no controle da dor articular, mas ainda há controvérsias sobre sua eficácia na reabilitação funcional da mão nesses pacientes. Este é um estudo cego, placebo-controlado, cruzado para comparar parâmetros funcionas da mobilidade da mão em pacientes com artrite reumatóide antes, durante e ao final de um período de 12 semanas de aplicação de TENS-burst em pontos sensitivos do membro superior. Na aplicação terapêutica utilizou-se intensidade de corrente de 10mA para estimulação das articulações metacarpofalangeanas e 20mA para os pontos sensorias do braço. Após uma pausa de um mês no tratamento, os pacientes que inicialmente receberam a estimulação terapêutica passaram a receber a estimulação placebo e vice-versa. Os resultados mostraram que a eletroestimulação terapêutica produziu mudanças positivas graduais e lineares na reabilitação funcional da mão analisado-se parâmetros de força e precisão de preensão das mãos, levando os pacientes à uma independência na execução de atividade de vida diária. O tratamento placebo mostrou-se ineficiente para a recuperação dos parâmetros avaliados. As habilidades conquistadas pelos pacientes que receberam inicialmente a eletroestimulação terapêutica foram perdidas durante o período de repouso, sugerindo que a manutenção da função da mão depende da continuidade do tratamento ao longo do tempo
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with high morbidity, loss of productivity and reduced life expectancy. Patients require multidisciplinary treatment to control the disease by reducing inflammation and preventing atrophy and joint deformation. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS-burst) has been shown to control joint pain, but there is still controversy about its efficacy in functional hand rehabilitation in these patients. This is a blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study to compare the functional parameters of the mobility of the hand in rheumatoid arthritis patients before, during and after a period of 12 weeks of application of TENS- burst in the sensory points of the arm and metacarpophalangeal joints . In therapeutic application we used a current of 10mA for stimulation of joints and 20mA for the sensory points of the arm. After a month-long pause in treatment, patients who initially received therapy stimulation began receiving the placebo stimulation and vice versa. The results showed that therapeutic electrical stimulation produced gradual and linear positive changes in functional rehabilitation of the hand, accessed by analysis of strength and accuracy parameters of prehension, leading patients to independence in performing their daily living activities. The placebo treatment was…

▼ M.Tech. (Homoeopathy)
Neck pain is a common condition usually experienced due to mechanical or degenerative problems (Colledge et al., 2010). The onset of neck pain may be acute and associated with asymmetrical restriction of neck movements and a history of awkward posture or sudden onset. Acute neck pain is an aching pain in the cervical paraspinal muscles and ligaments. It is associated with muscle spasm, stiffness and tightness in the upper back and shoulders that lasts up to six weeks. Headaches may be present (Bickley & Szilagyi, 2009). Causes of neck pain can be mechanical, inflammatory, metabolic, neoplastic, due to referred pain or other underlying aetiologies (Colledge et al., 2010). The most common treatments for neck pain are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, physiotherapy, chiropractic adjustment or therapeutic massage (Taylor, 2010). The NeuroTrac® MultiTENS device provides a non-invasive, drug-free method of controlling acute pain by transmitting mild electrical impulses via surface electrodes through the skin (Verity Medical Ltd., 2013). There have been many studies done on Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) devices, but little on its immediate effect on acute neck pain. The aim of this study was to determine the immediate effect of the NeuroTrac® MultiTENS device on acute neck pain, using the Neck Pain Disability Index, Visual Analogue Scale and the Cervical Range of Motion (CROM). This study was an unblinded, single-group experimental design (Brink, 2010). The study took place at the University of Johannesburg Campus Clinic. Recruitment took place by means of advertisements (Appendix H) placed at the University of Johannesburg campuses. Inclusion criteria consisted of males and females between the ages of eighteen to fifty years. Participants had to be suffering from aching pain in the cervical paraspinal muscles and ligaments with associated muscle spasm, stiffness and tightness in the upper back and shoulders that was present for more than one day and no longer than one week, with decreased range of motion on CROMs (Appendix G) and a minimum score of 10 on the Neck Pain Disability Index (Appendix D). Exclusion criteria consisted of participants suffering from severe headaches with meningeal signs associated nausea, blurred vision, photophobia and phonophobia or fever; a history of thrombus formation or transient ischaemic attack (Longmore et al., 2010); if they had a pacemaker or if they have had any head and neck surgery; if they suffered from cardiac arrhythmia or myocardial infarction; pregnancy or suspected pregnancy; if they had a general skin sensitivity or known allergy to adhesives or if they have had a recent chiropractic adjustment. A total of forty participants were selected. The participants acted as their own baseline control. The researcher was only required to see participants once for one forty minute session to determine the immediate vi effect of the NeuroTrac® MultiTENS device on acute neck pain. Participants were asked to fill in an Information (Appendix…

▼ La neurostimulation périphérique (en anglais
transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation ou TENS) est une modalité thérapeutique fréquemment utilisée en réadaptation pour diminuer la douleur. À ce jour, cependant, l’efficacité analgésique du TENS chez les aînés demeure peu documentée. La majorité des études effectuées jusqu’à présent ont été réalisées chez les jeunes adultes ou chez des populations d’âge hétérogènes. La présente étude, un essai croisé randomisé à double insu, avait pour objectif de documenter l’efficacité analgésique du TENS conventionnel et du TENS acupuncture chez les aînés et d’observer si la réponse analgésique de ces deux modalités de TENS entre les aînés et les jeunes adultes est différente. Quinze aînés et quinze jeunes adultes ont participé à l’étude. Les participants étaient évalués à trois occasions distinctes pour recevoir en alternance un TENS conventionnel, un TENS acupuncture et un TENS placebo. Une douleur expérimentale était créée à l’aide d’une thermode de type Peltier, appliquée au niveau de la colonne lombaire pendant deux minutes, période durant laquelle les participants devaient évaluer l’intensité de leur douleur avec une échelle visuelle analogue reliée à un ordinateur (CoVAS). Les mesures de douleur ont été prises avant, pendant et après l’application de chaque type de TENS. Chez les jeunes adultes, lorsque comparée au niveau de douleur initiale, une diminution significative de la douleur a été observée pendant et après l’application du TENS conventionnel et acupuncture. Le TENS conventionnel et acupuncture étaient supérieurs au traitement placebo (toutes les valeurs de p < 0,05). Cependant, chez les aînés, le TENS conventionnel et acupuncture n’ont pas permis de diminuer significativement la douleur. De plus, aucune modalité TENS ne se démarquait du traitement placebo (toutes les valeurs de p > 0,05). Bien que le TENS conventionnel et le TENS acupuncture soient efficaces chez les jeunes adultes, les présents résultats suggèrent que le TENS n’est pas la meilleure option de traitement pour diminuer la douleur chez les aînés, du moins lorsqu’il est utilisé seul (monothérapie). Des études futures, visant à déterminer des façons de bonifier l’effet du TENS chez les aînés, sont nécessaires.

▼ This doctoral thesis is divided into two parts: 1. In the first part A. In chapter A there is bibliographic reference to: firstly the oral-phacial system and the normal functional activity and secondly to the parts of the oral-phacial system. B. In chapter B there is reference the terminology, the causes of the oral-phasial disorders and the clinical indicator of malfunction. C. In chapter C there is bibliographic reference about treatment choices of patients with disfunction of the oral-phacial system. D. In chapter D there is a reference to the Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). For instance forms TENS, general characteristics TENS and techniques of TENS application). 2. In the second part, that concerns the clinical research, it is mentioned: the Doctoral Thesis was conducted in the department of Clinical Physiology of the oral-phacial system. In the Laboratory of Fixed Prostodontics of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, so as to study the influence of TENS on the therapeutical confrontation of patients with craniomandibular disorders. Thirty seven patients out of seventy five were chosed to participated in the clinical research. These patients were examined for malfunctional problems of the oral-phacial system in the clinic of the Fixed Prostodontics. The same protocol of examination and therapeutical confrontation was followed for all the patients. The results of this research are the following: 1) The appearance symptoms of the malfunction of the oral-phacial system is more increased in women compared to men. 2) The biggest percentage of patients is between the ages of thirty to forty nine. 3) The frequency in the appearance of the symptoms is proportionate to the increase of people’s educational level. 4) There is a higher percentage of patients in urban areas. The application of TENS as certains that there is improvements in the symptoms in (a) clicking, (b) myophasial, (c) chronic headaches, (d) difficulty in opening the mouth and (e) difficulty in chewing. In conclusion, we can say that if TENS is applied to the Symptoms above, there will be improvement in the symptoms. It is a method that has many advantages because it is bloodless, non-infectuous without side effects and can be applied easily by the patients themselves.

▼ Purpose : The radius bone in the forearm of the human body, is an integral component of the wrist joint. Optimal wrist joint function plays an important role in maintaining dexterity of the upper limb. The inability to use the upper limb due to injury or pathology, impacts on activities of daily living, like personal care, occupational needs, and social activities. Following the fracture of the distal radius, a period of immobilisation is required for the injured structures to heal. Physiotherapy after the period of immobilisation is aimed at improving mobility, strength and flexibility of the affected joint. At this stage, patient’s main complaints are pain and stiffness which is impeding on functional use of the affected limb. Analgesia is usually prescribed to the patient for pain management, however in the South African public sector, drug shortages is a problem. Therefore there is a need to investigate a rehabilitation intervention that may reduce pain and hasten functional recovery after a distal radius fracture (DRF).
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Interferential Current (IFC) are two electrotherapy modalities, commonly used in the management of pain. Their effectiveness in reducing pain following a distal radius fracture has not been established. Therefore this study was designed to determine the effectiveness of TENS and IFC in reducing pain experienced following a distal radius fracture.
Methods: The design of the study was a pre-test, post-test between
subject study. Fifty four patients were randomly assigned to a TENS and exercise or IFC and exercise group. Both groups engaged in a 2-3 week programme, which comprised of six sessions of intervention. Pain was recorded with the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale (VNRS). Range of movement was measured with a goniometer and muscle strength with a modified sphygmomanometer. Functional ability was assessed with activities from the Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE).
Results : Statistical analysis was done with IBM SPSS (Version 21.0, IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). There was no significant differences between groups at the baseline with post 2-3 weeks showing compliance with TENS and exercises of 37% (n=20), IFC and exercises 37% (n=20). There were significant improvements (p < 0,05) in pain, range of movement, grip strength, and functional ability with both interventions. IFC was found to be significantly more effective in increasing wrist flexion and extension range of movements.
Conclusion : Tens and IFC are effective in reducing pain following a distal radius fracture. There was no significant difference between the two modalities in reducing pain. Other variables of range of movement, muscle strength and functional ability also improved.

▼ Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
Although peripheral motoneurons are phenotypically endowed with robust regenerative capacity, functional recovery is often suboptimal following peripheral nerve injury (PNI). Research to date indicates that the greatest success in achieving full functional recovery will require the use of a combinatorial approach that can simultaneously target different aspects of the post-injury response. In general, the concept of a combinatorial approach to neural repair has been established in the scientific literature but has yet to be successfully applied in the clinical situation. Emerging evidence from animal studies supports the use of electrical stimulation (ES) and testosterone as one type of combinatorial treatment after crush injury to the facial nerve (CN VII). With the facial nerve injury model, we have previously demonstrated that ES and testosterone target different stages of the regeneration process and enhance functional recovery after facial nerve crush injury. What is currently unknown, but critical to determine, is the impact of a combinatorial treatment strategy of ES and testosterone on functional recovery after crush injury to the sciatic nerve, a mixed sensory and motor spinal nerve which is one of the most serious PNI clinical problems. The results of the present study indicate that either treatment alone or in combination positively impact motor recovery. With regard to molecular effects,single and combinatorial treatments differentially alter the expression of regeneration-associated genes following sciatic nerve crush injury relative to facial nerve injury. Thus, our data indicate that not all injuries equally respond to treatment. Furthermore, the results support the importance of treatment strategy development in an injury-dependent manner and based upon the functional characteristics of spinal vs. cranial nerves.
