To Determine the Effectiveness of TENS vs EMS on Hemodynamics Parameters of Hypertension
Sponsor: Superior University
Summary
This study aimed to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) on hemodynamic parameters in patients with hypertension. A total of 42 hypertensive patients were randomly divided into two equal groups: Group A received TENS, and Group B received EMS, over a period of four weeks. Pre- and post-treatment measurements of systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and heart rate (HR) were recorded. Results showed that both TENS and EMS produced significant improvements in all parameters within their respective groups.

Conditions
Interventions
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
TENS is a non-invasive electrotherapy technique used to manage pain and modulate physiological responses such as blood pressure. In this study, patients in Group 1 received TENS therapy as the primary intervention.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)
EMS is a form of electrotherapy that causes muscle contractions through electrical impulses delivered via surface electrodes. In this study, patients in Group 2 received EMS therapy to investigate its effect on hemodynamic parameters in individuals with hypertension.
