简要总结

The results showed that the reported PI values were significantly lower for TENS patient than sham-TENS patients at immediate post-treatment (M.D = -3, t = -6.616, p = 0.000) and 1 hr times (M.D = -3, t = -6.893, p = 0.000). However, there were no significant differences at 24 hrs or 48 hrs (or at baseline). The correlation between PI, ßE and ME was not significant. It was concluded that TENS application significantly reduces PI but does not cause any significant change in plasma concentration of ßE and ME in patients with CLBP.
