Description
Summary:Transcutaneous Nerve Stimulator (TENS) and Inferential Current Simulator (IFC) are both well-known western pain therapies. In the East, ecupuncture or more specifically Electro-acupuncture (IC) is the well-known pain therapy. In this project, we compare the efficacy of TENS and IFC for pain treatment. Both of these therapies are also compared with IC as the reference. A number of patients were recruited on the experiments to determine the effectiveness of the therapies. While we are limited by the number of volunteers, interesting results about TENS and IFC are obtained.
