The vagus nerves are a pair of nerves that start in the brain and run through other parts of the body. They send and receive messages, between the brain and the body. Vagus nerve stimulation involves the implantation of a generator that stimulates the vagus nerve and thus reduces seizure activity. This procedure of implantation takes nearly 1-2 hours. Once successfully implanted, the generator sends electric impulses to the vagus nerve at regular intervals. The left vagus nerve is stimulated….

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a drug-free pain management technique that applies small amounts of electricity to nerve endings beneath the skin. It is sometimes used to treat a wide range of conditions, including pelvic pain, neuropathy, shoulder pain and other types of joint pain, muscle pain and post-surgical pain.Scientists are unsure how TENS may relieve pain. One theory is that the device blocks pain impulses. Pain results from an interaction between several …
This therapy can help relieve pain in a variety of different problem areas, including pain in the muscles and joints, as well as chronic pain. Those suffering from sudden, acute pain can also benefit from TENS, often in combination with exercise or other treatments.For pain relief, TENS (an acronym that…
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is a technique in which mild electric currents are applied to areas of the skin by a small power pack connected to two electrodes. TENS can be used to treat a number of disorders like acute and chronic pain associated with cancer, joint disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease and so on.
