• TENS is an non-invasive low-voltage electrical stimulation technique done by the application of pulsed rectangular wave current forms through surface electrodes on the skin.
• TENS unit works on the principle of pain gate theory achieving pain relief by stimulating large afferent fibers preferentially and thus inhibiting transmission of pain impulses to the brain.
