Review Comparative Study
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for the treatment of chronic low back pain: a systematic review.
Systematic review. ⋯ Evidence for the efficacy of TENS as an isolated intervention in the management of chronic LBP is limited and inconsistent. Larger, multicenter, RCTs are needed to better resolve its role in this condition. Increased attention should be given to the risks and benefits of long-term use, which more appropriately addresses the realities of managing chronic low back pain.
