Effect of TENS on Pain and Symptoms in Primary Dysmenorrhea
Sponsor: Osmaniye Korkut Ata University
Summary
The Effect of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) on Pain and Menstrual Symptoms in Primary Dysmenorrhea This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) in managing pain and alleviating menstrual symptoms in individuals with primary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea is characterized by severe menstrual pain and accompanying symptoms that negatively impact the quality of life and daily functioning. TENS, a non-invasive and drug-free method, is applied to relieve pain by stimulating nerves through electrical impulses. This research evaluates the impact of TENS on both the intensity of menstrual pain and associated symptoms, offering insights into its potential as an alternative or complementary therapeutic approach.

Transkutanöz Elektriksel Sinir Stimülasyonu - TENS
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) has gained popularity in recent years as a non-invasive method for pain management. TENS works by modulating nerve stimulation through low-frequency electrical currents applied to the skin, reducing pain perception. Its potential effectiveness in alleviating menstrual pain has drawn increasing attention as an alternative treatment option
