Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Effectiveness of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and interferential current in primary dysmenorrhea.
To compare the effectiveness of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and interferential current in primary dysmenorrhea. ⋯ Both transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and interferential current appear to be effective in primary dysmenorrhea. As they are free from the potentially adverse effects of analgesics, and no adverse effects are reported in the literature nor observed in this study, a clinical trial of their effectiveness in comparison with untreated and placebo-treated control groups is warranted.
