Best OTC Choices in Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) Products
Do home machines that deliver the electrical impulses known as Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation really help relieve pain, relax muscles and stimulate the production of endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers? Medical opinion is mixed. But TENS devices — which deliver impulses through pads placed on the skin — are seen as harmless.
