Abstract
A clinical case report of the comparative effects of electro-acupuncture, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and laser photo-biostimulation on plain relief and 24-hour urinary excretion of 17-hydroxy-corticosteroids (17-OH-CS) following each biostimulation in a patient with a normal pituitary adrenal axis is presented. The excretion of 17-OH-CS after electro-acupuncture was higher than other modalities of treatments while there was no difference in pain relief among different modalities under this particular condition used in this study.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
