Abstract
For years, physical therapists have been utilizing a variety of modalities, including transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), in an attempt to manage pain associated with inflammation. However, the data on clinical effectiveness is conflicting and the neurophysiological mechanismKeywords
