This study examined the effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on the sympathetic nerve system by sympathetic skin response test.
Fifty-five healthy volunteers received either: (i) 30minutes TENS (25 participants) (ii) 30minutes sham TENS (30 participants) and SSR test was performed pre- and post-TENS. The mean values of latency and peak-to-peak amplitude of five consecutive SSRs were calculated.
A significant amplitude difference was found between TENS and sham TENS group both in right and left hand (p=0.04, p=0.01, respectively). However there was no significant latancy difference between two groups (p>0.05 ).
TENS has an inhibitory effect on elicited SNS responses when compared with sham TENS control group.
本研究通过交感神经皮肤反应试验,探讨经皮电刺激神经疗法(TENS)对交感神经系统的影响。
55名健康志愿者分为两组:(i)25名参与者接受30分钟的TENS治疗;(ii)30名参与者接受30分钟的假TENS治疗,并在TENS治疗前后进行SSR测试。计算连续五个SSR的潜伏期和峰峰值振幅的平均值。
TENS组和假TENS组在右手和左手的振幅均存在显著差异(分别为p = 0.04,p = 0.01)。然而,两组之间的潜伏期无显著差异(p>0.05)。
与假TENS对照组相比,TENS对诱发的交感神经系统反应具有抑制作用。
