WOLF Numerous publications devoted to the topic of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) have appeared since the presentation of a special issue of PHYSICAL THERAPY (December, 1978). This update article addresses contemporary information on efficacy, mode of application, treatment outcomes, and neurophysiological mechanisms relevant to this modality. Investigators have become far more specific when presenting this information in the current literature on treating acute pain conditions with TENS than they were in the literature for the 1978 special issue. Improvement has been made in providing specific details to enable replication of TENS stimulating characteristics among patients with chronic pain; yet several clinical researchers still fail to evaluate treatment outcomes adequately. Perhaps the greatest advances in our understanding of TENS involve the recent development of mechanisms that might account for how different types of TENS work. Suggestions for predicting patient responses to TENS and for avenues of future inquiry are offered. Key Words: Electric stimulation, Pain, Physical therapy. A wealth of information is available on the clinical application of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for pain management. In recent years, clinicians have studied the effect of TENS on pain associated with specific pathological conditions and have sought a relationship between specific treatment protocols and outcomes. Authors have more closely attended to the importance of specific electrode placements and stimulation characteristics, so that studies on particular diagnostic groups of patients could be compared and replicated. More sophisticated pain evaluation tools have been used to assess a patient's response to TENS therapy. The purpose of this article is to review critically literature about TENS, which has been generated after the publication of a special issue on TENS in PHYSICAL THERAPY in 1978, to determine if more definitive information is available regarding 1) the efficacy of treatment for specific diagnostic categories, 2) current methods of application (specific elec- Mrs. Gersh is a physical therapist at St. Luke's Memorial Hospital, S 711 Cowley St, Box 288, Spokane, WA 99210.

Topics for future clinical study will also be discussed. TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATION FOR ACUTE PAIN One of the most successful applications of TENS is for postoperative pain control.1-11 Although treatment protocols vary between different studies, important treatment variables are fairly consistent among these studies.1 Patients are generally provided with a preoperative exposure to TENS to choose comfortable stimulation settings. Sterile electrodes are placed adjacent to the incision in surgery, and TENS treatment commences in the recovery room, with the stimulation variables set at a previously established comfort level. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is used continuously for the first 48 to 72 hours; the patient regulates the stimulus intensity to suit his needs. Treatment outcomes are measured not only by subjective pain report, but also by the type and amount of pain medication requested by the patient. Incidences of postoperative ileus and atelectasis, records on compliance with respiratory therapy regimens, and length of inten- sive care and hospital stay also provide objective measures of the patient's response to TENS treatment. Schomburg and Carter-Baker evaluated the analgesic effect of TENS on 75 postlaparotomy patients.2 In comparing these patients with a matched control group by retrospective chart observation, the authors found that patients using TENS postoperatively required 56 percent fewer doses of pain medication during the first five postoperative days than did patients in the control group. Patients receiving TENS were more mobile and participated in breathing exercises earlier than their control group counterparts. Ali et al studied the pulmonary function of 40 patients who had undergone cholecystectomies.3 Fifteen patients used TENS continuously for thefirst48 hours postoperatively and then on an "as needed" basis. Another 15 patients did not use TENS, and a third group of 10 patients used TENS units with the batteries reversed so that no current was delivered to the patient (sham TENS). Spirometric evaluations of all patients conducted on the third and fifth postoperative days indicated that patients who were treated with TENS had significantly higher vital capacities and functional residual capacities than patients receiving either sham TENS or no TENS. Patients using TENS had a significantly decreased incidence of post- Downloaded from http://ptjournal.apta.org/ by guest on September 9, 2014 PHYSICAL THERAPY PRACTICE operative pulmonary dysfunction and complications. Patients in all groups required supplemental pain medications, but those patients in the TENS group required less pain medication than did those not receiving actual TENS treatment. Taylor and associates conducted a similar study with patients who had undergone abdominal surgery.4 Thirty patients used actual TENS and 22 patients used sham units for one hour every four hours for the first three postoperative days. Patients were permitted to request pain medication after 30 minutes of TENS treatment if the treatment did not adequately control pain. Twenty-five patients served as a control group. Taylor and associates noted that patients receiving TENS or sham TENS required less pain medication and ambulated earlier than did those patients in the control group.4 The results highlighted the placebo potential of TENS but may also be explained by the noncontinuous mode of TENS application. Another study examined the analgesic effect of TENS on patients who had undergone upper abdominal surgery.6 The patients who used TENS for postoperative pain control required 30 times less pain medication than did those in the control group. Improved pulmonary function, appetite, and ambulation indicated an earlier recovery for those patients who used TENS than for those patients who did not. Because the report of this study lacked information on treatment protocol and technique, replicating or comparing these results with similar studies is impossible. Several investigators have studied the efficacy of TENS for management of postlaminectomy pain.7-9 In all these studies, electrodes were placed parallel to the incision, stimulation was set at comfortable levels, TENS was used continuously for at least the first 24 to 48 hours, and the treatment was discontinued after that period at each patient's request. The investigators all reported a significant decrease in the strength and amount of pain medication requested by the patients using TENS in comparison with those patients not using TENS. Solomon et al reported that TENS appeared most effective in "drugnaive" patients, those who had not used narcotics preoperatively for more than two weeks in the six months before surgery.7 Furthermore, they noted that poor pain relief was reported by drugVolume 65 / Number 3, March 1985 experienced patients, regardless of whether TENS or narcotics were used. This occurrence may suggest a crosstolerance between narcotics and TENS and activation of a similar neural substrate to explain the analgesic effect of both TENS and opioid derivative medications. Richardson and Siquiera carefully recorded the stimulation settings used.8 They observed no correlation between specific pulse widths, rates, or stimulus intensities and the degree of pain relief reported. Other investigators have corroborated this finding.12 Additional benefits of postoperative pain management with TENS may be realized by the postcesarean patient. Nonnarcotic pain control by use of TENS may facilitate earlier mother-infant bonding. Drug-induced side effects such as nausea, drowsiness, and respiratory depression are limited. Narcotics are not passed to the baby by breastfeeding. Pulmonary rehabilitation is facilitated and reduces the occurrence of pulmonary complications in the mother.10 Harvie cited rehabilitation benefits when using TENS to control postoperative pain after knee surgery.11 He studied patients who had undergone total knee replacements, synovectomies, meniscectomies, arthrotomies, patchplasties, or fracture reductions. Electrodes placed over the medial and lateral collateral ligaments provided the most effective pain control. Narcotic use was decreased by 75 to 100 percent. Recovery of quadriceps femoris muscle strength and knee range of motion (ROM) was facilitated. Four of seven patients with total knee replacements achieved 80 to 90 degrees of active knee flexion by the sixth postoperative day; the other three patients achieved the same goal by the eighth postoperative day. Earlier ambulation and decreased length of hospital stay were also reported. Clearly, TENS for management of postoperative knee pain is an important adjunct to a rehabilitation program. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation can also be applied for control of acute dental pain.13, 14 Hansson and Ekblom evaluated 62 patients admitted to an emergency dental clinic with acute pain secondary to pulpal inflammation, apical periodontitis, or postoperative pain after tooth extraction.13 Patients were randomly assigned to one of three groups: those receiving high frequency TENS (100 Hz; n = 22); those receiving low frequency TENS (2 Hz; n = 20); and those receiving a placebo treatment (batteries removed from the unit; n = 20). Electrodes were placed on the face over the painful area. Stimulus intensity was set to three times the sensory threshold for patients in the high frequency group, and three to five times sensory threshold for those receiving low frequency TENS. This latter group experienced muscular contractions associated with the higher intensity. Patients used a visual analog scale to record their pain intensity before, during, and after treatment. Seven of 22 patients (31.8%) in the high frequency group reported pain relief of greater than 50 percent after 30 minutes of treatment, compared with 9 of 20 patients (45%) in the low frequency group, and 2 of 20 (10%) in the placebo group. Pain returned within 10 minutes after treatment in 4 of 7 patients in the high frequency group, and in 2 of 9 patients in the low frequency group. The 2 patients in the placebo group who reported initial relief experienced longer lasting relief. Two other patients in the high frequency group and 2 in the low frequency group reported complete pain relief after treatment. Differences in the analgesic effectiveness of TENS demonstrated between the high and low frequency groups were not significant. The effectiveness of TENS for pain control, however, was significantly greater when either experimental group was compared with the placebo group. Pain control of longer duration might have occurred if treatment duration could have been longer than 30 minutes. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is being used, especially outside of the United States, to control acute pain associated with labor and delivery.15, 16 Erkola et al evaluated 100 patients who used TENS for pain management during the first stage of labor.15 Electrodes were placed paravertebrally at T10-11 and S2-4. Stimulus intensity was set at a tolerable submotor threshold and regulated by the patient. Thirty-one percent of the patients reported good pain relief, and 55 percent reported moderate relief within one hour of initiating treatment. Details of the pain rating procedure were not described. Patients using TENS, however, requested a similar amount of pain medication during labor in comparison with a control group who did not use TENS. Downloaded from http://ptjournal.apta.org/ by guest on September 9, 2014 315 Jones reported that 82 percent of the patients in labor using TENS had substantial relief of back labor pain and 71 percent had significant relief of abdominal labor pain during the first stage of labor.16 Again, methods used to measure pain were not described. During the second stage of labor, TENS was frequently discontinued because it interfered with the patient's controlled breathing and pushing efforts. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation also interfered with continuous fetal monitoring. The use of TENS did not affect the length of labor or immediate postnatal health of the infant. Further investigation of the role of TENS in the management of labor pain is warranted with close attention paid to application techniques and measurement of treatment outcome. Reduction of the need for narcotics during labor could contribute to the improved perinatal and postnatal health of the mother and the improved respiratory and neurological status of the newborn child. Methods of application for TENS to control acute pain are summarized in Table 1. All but one report provide specific electrode placements for particular pain locations. Ranges are given most frequently to describe stimulation settings used, and the frequency and duration of TENS treatment is reported. The provision of application details in recent literature allows more accurate comparison and replication of clinical research. Table 2 summarizes the evaluation tools used to assess TENS treatment outcomes for acute pain management. A variety of subjective pain rating scales and recording of pain medication intake were used most commonly to assess the analgesic effect of TENS. In three studies, additional credence was given to favorable treatment outcomes by use of objective physical evaluations, such as pulmonary function studies or joint range-of-motion measurements. In addition to the patients' reports of pain, objective evaluation procedures enhance the reliability and validity of these clinical studies. Recent literature has been favorable on the efficacy of TENS for acute pain control. The location and description of acute pain is usually precise and allows for use of a more specific treatment approach. Homogeneous groups of patients (eg, those with postoperative pain) and matched control groups are readily available for evaluation. Treatment outcomes may be objectively measured in terms of medication intake, respiratory status, rehabilitation factors, and subjective pain ratings. These advantages are not as readily available when studying the management of chronic pain and may explain the wide variation in response to TENS treatment among chronic pain patients. TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATION FOR CHRONIC PAIN Studies examining patients with widely divergent diagnoses or symptom complexes are not as prevalent in the TENS literature today as they were several years ago. These studies can provide valuable information in selecting which diagnostic groups of patients respond most favorably to TENS for pain relief. Wolf and colleagues evaluated the responses to TENS of 114 patients with chronic pain.12 Patients reported pain secondary to peripheral neuropathy, peripheral nerve injury, radiculopathy, or musculoskeletal trauma.

Stimulation variables were set to evoke a strong but comfortable sensation in the painful region, and exact electrical settings were recorded. Treatments were conducted on an outpatient basis and were of 30- to 45minute duration. Patients rated their pain intensity on a 10-cm line before, during, and immediately after treatment. In addition, some patients completed the pain descriptor word list found in the McGill Pain Questionnaire.17 Thirteen of 18 patients (72%) with peripheral neuropathy, 6 of 21 patients (28.5%) with peripheral nerve injury, 8 of 36 patients (22%) with radicular pain, and 15 of 39 patients (38.4%) with musculoskeletal pain reported more than 60 percent relief of pain after TENS treatment.12 In the peripheral neuropathy group, patients with postherpetic neuralgia responded most favorably to TENS. Patients with fewer previous analgesic treatments, no surgical intervention, and limited narcotic use responded more favorably than those patients with numerous previous treatments. We found no significant relationship between specific electrode placements or stimulation settings and treatment outcomes, but patients with radiculopathy or peripheral nerve injury responded better to higher intensity stimulation. This observation was also reported by Melzack in treating patients with chronic low back pain.18 Follow- spirometry, arterial blood gases pulmonary functions up evaluations on 25 patients who used TENS at home for one month generally indicated decreased benefits from treatment as time progressed. These decreased benefits may have been due to reduced patient compliance when independent TENS application became a requirement. Another investigation studied 98 patients with back pain, headache, or a variety of other pain symptoms.19 Patients used TENS at home, placing electrodes at the site of pain, and setting stimulation intensity at a comfortable level. Patients recorded their own subjective pain level before and after treatment. After 12 days of home treatment, 69 percent of the patients with low back pain, 40 percent of those with headache pain, and 60 percent of those with pain from other sources reported more than 50 percent relief of pain. The authors failed to describe stimulation settings, pain-rating measures, and duration and frequency of treatment; they also did not control for a wide variation in application techniques based on patient competence and compliance. Thus, this study provided little valuable information on TENS for chronic pain control. Santiesteban described the use of low frequency TENS (2-4 Hz) for treatment of spinal pain.20 Stimulus pulse width was set at the maximum for the units used, and intensity was set at 50 mA to evoke a muscle contraction within pain tolerance. Electrodes were placed 2.5 to Other resumption of activities postoperative complication resume ambulation resume ambulation length of hospital stay postoperative complication 5 cm from the appropriate spinous process in a parallel or crossed configuration. Distal acupuncture points were also stimulated. Patients required less analgesic medication when TENS was used to control pain. Melzack and colleagues recently compared the analgesic effects of TENS and massage in a double-blind study of 41 patients with chronic low back pain.21 Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation electrodes were placed in the center of the back and on the lateral thigh. Low frequency stimulation (4-8 Hz) with a strong but tolerable intensity was applied. The massage was performed with a suction cup apparatus. Treatment was given two times a week for 30 minutes, for a maximum of 10 treatments. Treatment outcomes were evaluated using both the present-pain intensity (PPI) scale and the pain-rating index of the McGill Pain Questionnaire.17 Bilateral straight leg raising (SLR) and lumbosacral flexion were also measured. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation produced a significantly greater improvement than massage in the painrating and the PPI scales and in the bilateral SLR measures for these patients.21 Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation has been used with various degrees of success in the management of arthritic pain. Taylor et al evaluated the effect of TENS on osteoarthritic knee pain.22 Patients used actual TENS or a Volume 65 / Number 3, MarchDownloaded 1985 from http://ptjournal.apta.org/ by guest on September 9, 2014 317 TABLE 3 Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation Application Methods for Chronic Pain Primary Author Diagnosis Wolf12 varied Moore19 Electrode Placement Pulse Width (µ sec) Pulse Rate (pps) Intensity Frequency and Duration of Treatments 100 50-100 submotor threshold 30-45 min, 3-5 times a week varied site of pain, related nerve roots, or peripheral nerve varied midrange 10-100 or 1-4 comfort Santiesteban20 spine pain paravertebral maximum 2-4 Melzack21 low back pain osteoarthritis of knee phantom limb pain nonunited fracture center of back and lateral thigh about knee 4-8 motor threshold (50 mA) to tolerance 30-60 min daily or as needed 30-60 min comfort comfort stump or contralateral limb over fracture site in crossed pattern 100 or 2 peripheral neuropa- along nerve trunk at site of pain Taylor22 Winnem27 Kahn29 Gersh24 300 minimum 200 110 sensory threshold (less than 20 mA) 26-28 mA 30 min, 2 times a week 30-60 min as needed 15 min twice a day 30-60 min, 3-4 times a day continuous, 8-10 hr a day thy placebo unit wired to produce various sounds in a well-monitored home program. After two weeks of home treatment, patients were reevaluated and sent home to use the other (TENS or placebo) unit for another two weeks. Patients were evaluated again and permitted to take home the most beneficial unit for one more month of home treatment. Responses to treatment were evaluated by subjective pain rating, ambulation distance, and analgesic medication intake. The actual TENS provided significantly more pain relief than did the placebo unit in both subjective and medication analyses. Patients reported the greatest pain relief while wearing the active TENS unit. Relief frequently lasted for several hours after treatment was completed. Several patients continued to use the TENS at home for several months. They reported decreasing pain relief over time, possibly because of increasing joint deterioration. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation may be an important adjunct in the rehabilitation of arthritic patients, particularly when joint replacement is not possible. In patients with chronic systemic diseases who may be receiving a variety of pharmacologic and therapeutic treatments concurrently, the clinician must be alert, however, to adverse reactions to TENS, as reported by Griffin and McClure.23 Patients with a variety of peripheral neuropathic conditions including peripheral neuropathy,24 postherpetic neuralgia, peripheral nerve injury, reflex sympathetic dystrophy,25 and Sudeck's atrophy26 have all responded favorably to TENS treatment. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation has also proven effective in the management of phantom limb pain27 and the distal burning paresthesia associated with Guillain-Barré syndrome.28 Kahn provided radiographic evidence that TENS facilitated callous formation and osseous bridging at sites of nonunited fractures in three patients.29 Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation was originally applied to control pain in these patients for nonunited fractures six months after injury. Electrodes were placed in various configurations to "sandwich" the fracture site. Pulse width was set for the longest "on" time, pulse rate was set at the lowest available frequency, and stimulus intensity was set at the sensory threshold. Increased callous formation was noticed on radiographic examination after one month of treatment in one patient and after 10 weeks of treatment in the other two patients. Millea described another unusual application of TENS.30 A 50-year-old patient with an eight-year history of nonoperative abdominal pain and disten- tion was relieved of this discomfort after using TENS for five days. This relief may be attributed to decreased sympathetic tone and increased gastric motility associated with TENS application.31 Owens et al observed local vasodilation and skin temperature increases of 1°C when TENS was applied at the ulnar groove and wrist in seven healthy subjects.31 Such evidence also may explain the mechanism of pain relief in patients with causalgia or reflex sympathetic dystrophy. Consistent sympathetic nervous system responses, however, have not, as yet, been recorded among a variety of patients.25 Table 3 summarizes the application procedures used for chronic pain control with TENS. Significant effort has been made by most investigators in recent years to specify effective electrode placements and stimulating settings. Although specific pulse widths, rates, and intensities are not always cited, most reports provide a description of the sensory or motor responses elicited by TENS during treatment. Treatment duration was usually 30 to 60 minutes, but the frequency of treatment varied with each study. Replication of clinical studies is facilitated when these procedures are described in detail. Perhaps the weakest aspect of the clinical study of TENS for chronic pain control is evaluation of treatment out- 318 PHYSICAL THERAPY Downloaded from http://ptjournal.apta.org/ by guest on September 9, 2014 PRACTICE comes. Table 4 illustrates that most investigators still rely solely on the patient's report of pain to establish the efficacy of TENS treatment. Often, the pain-rating scale used by the patient is not described in detail. The great variety of pain symptoms, locations, previous and concomitant treatments, medications, and psychological components associated with chronic pain make objective evaluation much more difficult than in patients with acute pain. Use of physical measures, such as joint motion, strength, muscle girth, and participation in functional activities, however, would enhance the objective evaluation of the efficacy of TENS for chronic pain control. PREDICTING RESPONSE TO TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATION TREATMENT Successful use of TENS for pain control may be increased as more specific patient evaluation and selection criteria are established. Reynolds and associates examined the predictive value of pain questionnaires in selecting patients who would be more likely to respond favorably to TENS treatment.32 Their evaluation indicated that older, retired patients, who had pain of less than one year duration, who had undergone limited or no surgery, and who used nonnarcotic analgesics were more likely to experience pain relief with TENS. Site of injury, sensory deficit, and secondary gain by financial compensation for injury did not affect response to treatment. The pain questionnaire, however, seemed to have less predictive value for TENS than for other treatment regimens. In another study, Johansson et al suggested that patients with neurogenic pain responded more favorably to TENS than did patients with somatogenic or psychogenic pain.33 Patients with pain in the extremities seemed to derive more relief with TENS than patients with axial pain. The patient's age, sex, and pain intensity did not relate to his response to treatment. Richardson and colleagues explained how treatment with TENS could confirm a diagnosis of functional pain compared with organic pain.34 Many patients with suspected functional pain reported increased pain during and after TENS treatment. Pain was relieved with a saline injection in the majority of these patients. Mannheimer compiled a list of factors that hinder, enhance, or restore the effectiveness of TENS for pain control.35 Among those factors that enhance TENS effectiveness are careful, continuous patient evaluation for most effective electrode placement sites and stimulation settings; changing stimulation modes and characteristics; gradually increasing patient tolerance to stronger stimulation in the painful area; elec- trode placement on motor points or superficial aspects of nerves; weaning patients from addictive medications before treatment; and educating the patient in the proper use of the modality for home treatment. Incorporating these selection and treatment criteria into treatment protocols and recording which patients most favorably respond to TENS will increase the successful use of this modality in the future. NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL MODES OF ACTION Several years ago, the options available to explain the possible neurophysio l o g y mechanisms through which TENS could affect pain perception were limited.36 The prevailing explanation for most pain attenuating interventions cited the spinal gate concept developed by Melzack and Wall in 1965.37 Briefly, this notion took into account existing electrophysiological data from animal experiments that had demonstrated differential effects of collateral axons from large diameter afferent fibers mediating touch and pressure and from small diameter afferent fibers conveying nociceptive input upon interneurons within the substantia gelatinosa (Fig. 1). These interneurons could be facilitated through predominantly large diameter collateral afferent input and inhibited through primarily collateral axons from the small diameter system. In addition, the interneuron was inhibitory onto the TABLE 4 Evaluation Methods for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation Treatment for Chronic Pain Primary Author Diagnosis Subjective Pain Rating Pain Medication Taken Physical Evaluations Wolf12 varied McGill Pain Questionnaire no none Moore19 Santlesteban20 Melzack21 varied spine pain low back pain yes no no yes no Taylor22 osteoarthritis of knee yes yes Winnem27 phantom limb pain nonunited fracture peripheral neuropathy yes no none none straight leg raise, lumbosacral range of motion roentgenogram, ambulation distance none yes no roentgenogram yes no none Kahn29 Gersh24 Volume 65 / Number 3, March 1985 McGill Pain Questionnaire Downloaded from http://ptjournal.apta.org/ by guest on September 9, 2014 Other resume functional activities 319 Periphery Spinal Cord Lamina II & III Spinal Cord Lamina V Fig. 1.

Abbreviations SG = substantia gelatinosa; T = transmission cells. terminals of both afferent fiber classes. Consequently, when large diameter afferent fiber activation was of greater frequency and intensity than smaller diameter fiber input, the inhibitory interneurons would be activated to presynaptically inhibit transmission centrally from both the noxious and nonnoxious inputs. The gate would be closed. Of course, the opposite effect would predominate if greater transmission occurred through the smaller diameter system. This gating theory was subjected to considerable criticism because it conceptually failed to account for pain relief among a variety of clinical conditions. Nonetheless, the test of time has proven that the framework for the theory has formed the basis for several more contemporary explanations of pain alleviation through TENS. Specifically what the Melzack-Wall model brought to the attention of scientists and clinicians was the recognition that pain perception could be modulated somewhere within the neuraxis if the appropriate stimuli could be delivered and the appropriate neural substrate on which such stimuli might act could be found. A spinal gate that conceptually follows the original model might incorporate conventional TENS (low intensity, high frequency stimuli) to effect pain reduction among patients with a diagnosis of postherpetic neuralgia. This disease process causes selective degeneration among large diameter peripheral axons. The success with conventional TENS may reside in the activation of remaining large afferent fibers or those in close proximity to the painful site but which enter the neuraxis at the same or nearby segments as the ongoing noxious input.38 A similar explanation may be appropriate to explain how pain following certain kinds of peripheral nerve injury may respond to conventional TENS.39 Recently, clinicians have recognized that conventional TENS may not be the most effective form of stimulation for certain types of chronic pain. This thought was promoted when Ericksson and co-workers identified a large group of patients with chronic pain who showed further improvement in reduced pain perception when conventional TENS was supplemented by acupuncture-like TENS (low frequency, high intensity stimulation).40 This latter form of stimulation showed effects that were reversible through the administration of the opioid antagonist, naloxone hydrochloride; this reversal suggests that the effects of acupuncture-like TENS might be mediated through an endogenous opiate system within the neuraxis.41 Previously, Mayer and colleagues had demonstrated that the effectiveness of acupuncture was also reversed by naloxone hydrochloride.42 These clinical findings prompted a comprehensive search for the neural substrates mediating the responsiveness of chronic pain patients to high intensity cutaneous stimulation. At the same time, a variety of opiate receptors and numerous loci of endogenous opiates were being discovered in many human and subhuman primate studies.43 A logical marriage from this exponentially increasing body of knowledge resided in establishing relationships between neurophysiological and neurohistochemical studies on pain mechanisms and opiate substances, respectively. The mechanismfirstproposed by Basbaum and Fields in 1978 served to collate known histochemical and physiological data to explain how high intensity cutaneous electrical stimulation (for example, acupuncture-like TENS, briefintense TENS, or burst trains of TENS) might activate endogenous opiates to alleviate pain.44 This modulatory mechanism is essentially a negative feedback loop that is schematically illustrated in Figure 2. Ongoing pain input and the discomfort often associated with high intensity TENS activate ascending pathways leading to conscious awareness of pain. Certain axons within the ascending system are known to form a synapse within medullary reticular formation nuclei, and from these nuclei, this input is transmitted to the periaqueductal gray region of the midbrain (mesencephalon). This location is exceptionally endowed with high concentrations of endogenous opiates, and when it is activated, either through natural cutaneous Central Nervous System Fig. 2. Schematic diagram of negative feedback loop within the neuraxis activated by noxious input. 320 PHYSICAL THERAPY Downloaded from http://ptjournal.apta.org/ by guest on September 9, 2014 PRACTICE stimulation, iontophoretically applied morphine, or through direct stimulation, its efferent axons form a synapse with nuclei (raphe magnus and reticularis magnocellularis) within the medulla oblongata. Output from these nuclear groups descends through the dorsolateral funiculus of the spinal cord to make enkephalinergic synapses known to inhibit the spinal transmission of Substance P, a polypeptide implicated as a neurotransmitter between axons conveying noxious information.45 This last neural interaction completes the negative feedback loop to modulate ongoing or subsequent noxious input. For further details, please refer to the Pain: Mechanism: B. Basic section within the Bibliography. Another mechanism that may account for some aspects of pain modulation with TENS involves what LeBars et al have termed "diffuse noxious inhibitory controls," or DNIC.46 Within this system, responses elicited through continuous pain input to convergent dorsal horn neurons may be suppressed effectively by noxious or intense cutaneous stimulation, when it is applied almost anywhere on the body surface. Responses obtained through activity within the small diameter afferent fiber groups are inhibited, but nonnoxious activation of the same convergent cells or nonconvergent cells responsive to only noxious stimuli remain unaffected. Within animal models, spinalization eliminates DNIC, thereby suggesting that descending supraspinal influences are required to activate this system. Furthermore, the DNIC mechanism is sensitive to naloxone hydrochloride; this sensitivity indicates an endorphin link.47 Whether this linkage occurs at spinal or supraspinal levels has yet to be determined. Also, definitive data to test the validity of the DNIC model in man have yet to be presented. Nonetheless, the mechanisms described in this article form plausible explanations for the way in which high intensity TENS might modulate pain perception. Other mechanisms have been proposed, but both the quantity and quality of research led us to refrain from addressing these in this article. Undoubtedly, as more data evolve and histochemical and electrophysiological techniques gain sophistication, additional ways of speculating on or comprehending how TENS modulates pain perception will be forthcoming. AREAS FOR FUTURE STUDY To facilitate the continued effective use of TENS for pain control, several areas of study must be pursued. Patient evaluation and selection criteria should be validated and refined to increase successful treatment with TENS, particularly in patients who have chronic pain. Specific electrode placements and stimulation characteristics must be evaluated in relation to specific disease entities to establish more effective treatment protocols. Clinicians should continue to evaluate the benefits of high versus low frequency stimulation, auriculotherapy,48 and acupuncture point stimulation. Use of TENS for acute pain control should be expanded within areas where it is apparently effective (eg, postoperative pain, labor and delivery pain, and pain from acute injury48). Adverse responses to treatment such as contact dermatitis49, 50 should be reported so that hypoallergenic materials can be developed in the manufacturing of electrodes and conductive media, and so that patients at high risk for negative responses to treatment may be screened.23 Ongoing evaluation of long-term use of TENS by chronic pain patients may yield information on long-term effectiveness and clarify the neurophysiology on which treatment is based. The expanding body of knowledge resulting from applied and basic research on neurochemical and physiological bases for pain control must address the modus operandi of TENS, taking into account the stimulus characteristics applied within experimental protocols and how the relationship between stimulation and response explains the efficacy of this modality.
