Efficacy of therapeutic ultrasound and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation compared with botulinum toxin type a in the treatment of spastic equinus in adults with chronic stroke: a pilot randomized controlled trial.
Conclusions: Our findings support the hypothesis that botulinum toxin type A is more effective than therapeutic ultrasound and TENS for treating focal spasticity in patients with chronic stroke. PMID: 24722047 [PubMed - in process]

The effect of electrical stimulation on impairment of the painful post-stroke shoulder.
Conclusion: This pilot study is the first to measure pain-free passive range of motion during electrical stimulation. Our findings demonstrate the lack of an acute effect of TENS and t-NMES on pain reduction. PMID: 31298627 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Adding transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation to visual scanning training does not enhance treatment effect on hemispatial neglect: a randomized, controlled, double-blind study.
CONCLUSION: Our study did not provide evidence of the effectiveness of TENS when added to VST during early rehabilitation for patients with post-stroke hemispatial neglect. Other techniques (applied alone or together) should be sought to improve recovery in this population. PMID: 26431365 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Interventions for treating urinary incontinence after stroke in adults.
CONCLUSIONS: There is insufficient evidence to guide continence care of adults in the rehabilitative phase after stroke. As few trials tested the same intervention, conclusions are drawn from few, usually small, trials. CIs were wide, making it difficult to ascertain if there were clinically important differences. Only four trials had adequate allocation concealment and many were limited by poor reporting, making it impossible to judge the extent to which they were prone to bias. More appropriately powered, multicentre trials of interventions are required to provide robust evidence for interventions to improve urinary inco...

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]

Effect of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) on spasticity in adults with stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: There is strong evidence that TENS as an adjunct is effective in reducing lower limb spasticity when applied for more than 30 minutes over nerve or muscle belly in chronic stroke survivors. (Review protocol registered at PROSPERO: CRD42015020151). PMID: 30452892 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

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...

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation improves walking capacity and reduces spasticity in stroke survivors: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: The results support the use of repeated applications of TENS as an adjunct therapy for improving walking capacity and reducing spasticity in stroke survivors. PMID: 29232981 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Adding electrical stimulation during standard rehabilitation after stroke to improve motor function. A systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionElectrical sensory input can contribute to routine rehabilitation to improve early post-stroke lower-extremity impairment and late motor function, with no change in spasticity. Prolonged periods of sensory stimulation such as TENS combined with activity can have beneficial effects on impairment and function after stroke.

Immediate effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on gait patterns in chronic stroke survivors: A single group, pretest-posttest clinical trial
CONCLUSION: The findings support the use of TENS to improve the motor function and gait pattern in chronic stroke survivors. The study indicated that the application of TENS to the paretic leg before gait training might improve rehabilitation outcomes. Future studies investigating the effects of TENS on functional outcomes, the optimal stimulation duration, and assessing spasticity using more sensitive measures are warranted.PMID:35358825 | DOI:10.1016/j.humov.2022.102948

Effectiveness of physical therapy interventions on post-stroke spasticity: An umbrella review
CONCLUSION: Findings suggest that PT should prioritize a combination of active strategies over passive interventions, but further studies are needed prioritizing analyses of the movement system in managing post-stroke spasticity in conjunction with medical therapies.PMID:36806522 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-220275
