Management of acute traumatic pain by peripheral transcutaneous electrical stimulation.
South African Medical Journal 1977 August 14
Peripheral transcutaneous electrical stimulation has been used in an attempt to relieve the pain associated with fractured ribs. Sixty-two per cent of the patients considered their pain to be greatly relieved by this electro-analgesic technique and a further 28% gained some relief. Pain was assessed by means of a visual analogue scale. In most of the patients there was a clinical improvement in their condition, the degree of which correlated well with the pain relief. This trial indicated that transcutaneous electro-analgesia is a useful technique for producing analgesia in patients suffering from acute trauma, without some of the side-effects inherent in more conventional forms of therapy.
