In episode 16 of season 6 of Inside the Science we’re highlighting the study, “Transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) for acute low back pain: systematic review” with Dr. Christina Abdel Shaheed. She shares what TENS is and its intent, what the evidence says about TENS for chronic low back pain, the interpretations she’d advise in situations like this where there is simply a lack of evidence for an intervention, how TENS may be viewed as an alternative intervention to opioids, the clinical implications and the big takeaways.
