TENS

Control

Arm Description

TENS treatment will be apply with 30 minutes sessions seven times per day at the intensity between 9-15 milliamps (mA) which will be adjusted depending on the sensitivity of each individual patient.

Patients will receive 30 minutes sessions seven times per day of sham TENS therapy without the intensity impulse.
