Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialIs transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation of any value during cervical laser treatment?
To assess the value of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) during cervical laser therapy. ⋯ Although there was considerable consumer satisfaction with TENS it provided no additional pain relieving effect in addition to direct infiltration of lignocaine and it is inferior to lignocaine alone. We are unable to advocate the use of TENS for laser treatment of the cervix.
