few evidence in literature that TENS is really effective comparing with placebo or no treatment at all....As far as the so dubious "gate theory" mai i remind to all colleagues an important parameter...The stimulation of Ab receptors that they supposed to be stimulated ONLY by Tens,u can achieve that equally with any form of "pressure" ,either massage either MOBILISATION through the activation of Ab receptors in joints....
So when we label a "theory" behind a therapeutic modality (which remains UNPROVEN in treatment effect as i mentioned before) we should enlighten it more...And always be sceptical
