Active transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)
TENS is a technique use to relieve pain in an injured or diseased part of the body in which electrodes applied to the skin deliver intermittent stimulation to surface nerves and block the transmission of pain signals. In this research, the frequency will be set at 100 Hz, implusion duration at 60 μsec and intensity will be increase until having strong but confortable stimulations.
Simulated transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)
A modification of the TENS connexion parameters will prevent the current from reaching the electrods (once a first sensation will be perceived).
