To determine the effect of transcutaneous electrical stimulation on the rabbit joint, we studied skin and intraarticular temperatures and pressure both before and following the stimulation in nine rabbits. An elevation in skin temperature by a mean of 0.6 degrees C (p less than 0.05) and increase in intraarticular temperature by a mean of 0.8 degrees C (p less than 0.01) was noted following the electrical stimulation. Intraarticular pressure in the stimulated joints has only a trend to increase, but not significantly. In four other rabbits, synovial tissue of the stimulated joint showed blood vessels congestion and interstitial edema. These results suggest that the analgetic effect produced by electrical stimulation on joints may partially involve intraarticular temperature and pressure alterations.
为了确定经皮电刺激对兔关节的影响，我们研究了9只兔子在刺激前后的皮肤温度、关节内温度和压力。电刺激后，皮肤温度平均升高0.6摄氏度（p<0.05），关节内温度平均升高0.8摄氏度（p<0.01）。受刺激关节的关节内压力仅有升高趋势，但不显著。在另外4只兔子中，受刺激关节的滑膜组织出现血管充血和间质水肿。这些结果表明，电刺激对关节产生的镇痛作用可能部分涉及关节内温度和压力的改变。
