A Single Trial of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) Improves Spasticity and Balance in Patients with Chronic Stroke.
This study shows that TENS provides an immediately effective means of reducing spasticity and of improving balance in chronic stroke patients. The present data may be useful to establish the standard parameters for TENS application in the clinical setting of stroke. PMID: 23419328 [PubMed - in process]

Task-Related Training Combined with Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation Promotes Upper Limb Functions in Patients with Chronic Stroke.
This study investigated the efficacy of task-related training (TRT) with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on recovery of upper limb motor function in chronic-stroke survivors. Thirty patients with chronic stroke were randomly allocated two groups: the TRT+TENS group (n = 15) and the TRT+placebo (TRT+PLBO) group (n = 15). Patients in the TRT+TENS group received TENS stimulation (two to three times the sensory threshold), while subjects in the TRT+PLBO group received TENS without real electrical stimulation. TENS was applied to muscle belly of triceps and wrist extensors, while placebo (PLBO) stimulation wa...

Effectiveness of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation with Taping for Stroke Rehabilitation
CONCLUSIONS: Thus, TENS combined with taping may be useful in improving spasticity, muscle strength, and gait ability in stroke patients. Based on these results, an additional application of taping could be used to enhance the antispastic effect of TENS or other electrical stimulation treatments in the clinic. A long-term follow-up study is needed to determine whether the spasticity relieving effect persists after taping is removed.PMID:34485529 | PMC:PMC8410308 | DOI:10.1155/2021/9912094
