    question

    ...ok just a little confused. contraindications to TENS- decreased or altered sensation... so why is it a treatment modalitiy used to control neuropathic pain where the nerves are quite obviously damaged to some point? is it that the TENS is used elsewhere on the body? or is 'decreased/altered sensation' just a 'precaution' to use TENS?

    i know its advised to use in trigeminal neuralgia, but physiologically if you think about the principles of TENS, wouldnt this aggravate the pain?

    cheers,
    jess
