Poster - PENS therapy (WIP)

"Chronic pain conditions are a common problem despite conventional analgesia. According to the gate control theory of pain, percutaneous electrical neuro-stimulation (PENS) may be expected to reduce these hyperalgesiae.

PENS is a relatively new electrical therapy for pain relief and its assessments have beenlimited. It is similar in practical concept to transcutaneouselectrical nerve stimulation (TENS) but differs in that needle-like probes are inserted percutaneously into an area of tissue, and then stimulated.

Furthermore, it is able to stimulate at high (100Hz) and low (2Hz) frequencies in a rapidly alternating fashion."
