Abstract

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) has been used for its analgesic effects for chronic pain, including facial pain. Here, we summarize how the electrical stimulation of branches of the trigeminal nerve via TENS has been utilized to reduce pain resulting from trigeminal neuralgia, temporomandibular joint disorder, migraine and other headache types, and ocular pain sensations. TENS has been used for both short-term (one session) and long-term (multiple sessions) pain control with little to no adverse effects reported by subjects. The results of the summarized studies suggest TENS is an effective non-invasive, non-pharmacologic means of pain control for patients with facial pain conditions.

经皮神经电刺激治疗面部疼痛。

经皮神经电刺激(TENS)已被用于治疗慢性疼痛，包括面部疼痛。在这里，我们总结了如何利用TENS对三叉神经分支进行电刺激来减轻三叉神经痛、颞下颌关节紊乱、偏头痛和其他类型的头痛以及眼痛觉引起的疼痛。TENS已被用于短期(一次治疗)和长期(多次治疗)的疼痛控制，受试者报告的不良反应很少或没有。总结的研究结果表明，TENS是一种有效的非侵入性、非药物性的面部疼痛控制手段。

期刊介绍： Published since 1966, this series has become universally recognized as the most significant group of books serving neurological surgeons. Volumes feature contributions from distinguished international surgeons, who brilliantly review the literature from the perspective of their own personal experience. The result is a series of works providing critical distillations of developments of central importance to the theory and practice of neurological surgery.
