For the study, researchers experimentally induced ischemic pain in 48 test subjects. The test subjects underwent TENS at 3 pps, 80 pps and no current. TENS was switched on for approximately 20 minutes, with 30-minute washouts occurring between interventions. Researchers then used the visual analog scale to assess subjects’ pain intensity. Results showed lower VAS scores for 80 pps compared to 3 pps and the control group.
