I-Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) isebenza ngezimiso zokuguqulwa kobuhlungu ngezindlela zombili ezingaphandle kanye neziphakathi. Ngokuletha imifudlana kagesi ene-voltage ephansi ngama-electrode abekwe esikhumbeni, i-TENS isebenzisa imicu emikhulu ye-myelinated A-beta, evimbela ukudluliselwa kwezimpawu ze-nociceptive ngophondo lwangemuva lomgogodla, into echazwe yi-gate control theory.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-TENS ingabangela ukukhishwa kwama-opioid angokwemvelo, njenge-endorphins nama-enkephalins, okunciphisa kakhulu ukuqonda ubuhlungu ngokubopha kuma-receptor e-opioid kokubili ohlelweni lwezinzwa oluphakathi nolwangaphandle. Imiphumela yokunciphisa ubuhlungu ngokushesha ingabonakala zingakapheli imizuzu eyi-10 kuya kwengama-30 ngemuva kokuqala kokuvuselela.
Ngokwezibalo, izivivinyo zemitholampilo zikhombisile ukuthi i-TENS ingaholela ekunciphiseni okuphawulekayo kwezibalo zamaphuzu e-VAS, ngokuvamile phakathi kwamaphuzu angu-4 no-6, yize ukuhlukahluka kuncike emikhawulweni yobuhlungu yomuntu ngamunye, isimo esithile sobuhlungu eselashwayo, ukubekwa kwe-electrode, kanye nemingcele yokukhuthaza (isb., imvamisa kanye nokuqina). Ezinye izifundo ziphakamisa ukuthi imvamisa ephezulu (isb., 80-100 Hz) ingaba ngcono ekuphathweni kobuhlungu obukhulu, kanti imvamisa ephansi (isb., 1-10 Hz) inganikeza imiphumela ehlala isikhathi eside.
Sekukonke, i-TENS imelela ukwelashwa okungeziwe okungangenisi ubuhlungu ekuphathweni kobuhlungu obukhulu, okunikeza isilinganiso esihle senzuzo-nengozi ngenkathi kunciphisa ukuthembela ekungeneleleni kwezokwelapha.
