The pain reducing effect of vibratory stimulation and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) as compared to aspirin and placebo was studied in 60 patients suffering myofascial or musculoskeletal pain. Vibratory stimulation at 20 Hz, 100 Hz and 200 Hz and two modes of TENS were used for peripheral stimulation. In 48 patients these modes of stimulation produced pain reduction. Out of these patients 29 rated vibratory stimulation or TENS as more effective than aspirin while 9 patients rated aspirin as more effective. Ten patients rated the pain suppressive effect of vibratory stimulation and TENS as being equal to that of aspirin. Six of the patients who experienced pain reduction with peripheral stimulation reported an effect only for one particular type of peripheral stimulation. The present results provide evidence that vibratory stimulation and TENS are as efficient and in some patients more efficient pain suppressive measures as compared to aspirin. It is suggested on the basis of these findings that vibratory stimulation and TENS merit consideration in the choice of treatment of myofascial or musculoskeletal pain.
在60例患有肌筋膜或肌肉骨骼疼痛的患者中，研究了与阿司匹林和安慰剂相比，振动刺激和经皮电刺激神经疗法（TENS）的止痛效果。使用20Hz、100Hz和200Hz的振动刺激以及两种TENS模式进行外周刺激。在48例患者中，这些刺激模式产生了疼痛减轻的效果。在这些患者中，29例认为振动刺激或TENS比阿司匹林更有效，而9例患者认为阿司匹林更有效。10例患者认为振动刺激和TENS的止痛效果与阿司匹林相当。6例通过外周刺激减轻疼痛的患者报告仅对一种特定类型的外周刺激有效果。目前的结果提供了证据，表明与阿司匹林相比，振动刺激和TENS是同样有效的，并且在一些患者中是更有效的止痛措施。基于这些发现，建议在选择肌筋膜或肌肉骨骼疼痛的治疗方法时考虑振动刺激和TENS。
