I-TENS inokubonelela ngokukhawuleza kangakanani i-analgesia ngokukhawuleza kwiintlungu ezibuhlungu?

I-Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) isebenza kwimigaqo yokuguqulwa kweentlungu ngeendlela zombini kunye neendlela eziphambili. Ngokuhambisa iimpembelelo zombane eziphantsi kwe-voltage nge-electrode ebekwe esikhumbeni, i-TENS isebenze i-myelinated A-beta fibers enkulu, evimbela ukuhanjiswa kweempawu ze-nociceptive ngokusebenzisa uphondo lwe-dorsal yentambo yomgogodla, into echazwe yi-theory yokulawula isango.

Ngaphezu koko, i-TENS inokubangela ukukhululwa kwee-opioid ezingapheliyo, ezifana ne-endorphins kunye ne-enkephalins, eziye ziqhubekisele phambili ukuqonda intlungu ngokuzibophelela kwi-opioid receptors kuzo zombini iinkqubo ze-nervous central kunye ne-peripheral. Iziphumo ezikhawulezayo ze-analgesic zingabonakalisa ngaphakathi kwe-10 ukuya kwimizuzu ye-30 emva kokuqaliswa kokuvuselela.

Ngokomlinganiselo, iimvavanyo zeklinikhi zibonise ukuba i-TENS inokukhokelela ekunciphiseni ngokwezibalo kumanqaku e-VAS, ngokuqhelekileyo phakathi kwe-4 kunye ne-6 amanqaku, nangona ukuhluka kuxhomekeke kwimida yeentlungu zomntu ngamnye, imeko ethile yentlungu ephathwayo, ukubekwa kwe-electrode, kunye neeparitha zokuvuselela (umzekelo, ukuphindaphinda kunye nokuqina). Olunye uphando lubonisa ukuba i-frequencies ephezulu (umzekelo, i-80-100 Hz) inokusebenza ngakumbi kulawulo lweentlungu ezibuhlungu, ngelixa i-frequencies ephantsi (umzekelo, i-1-10 Hz) inokubonelela ngemiphumo ehlala ixesha elide.

Ngokubanzi, i-TENS imele unyango lwe-non-invasive adjunctive kulawulo lweentlungu ezibuhlungu, ezibonelela ngomlinganiselo ofanelekileyo wenzuzo-kwingozi ngelixa unciphisa ukuthembela kungenelelo lwe-pharmacological.
