Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
MENS
MENS are applied through placement of six electrodes (size of 4x4cm), of which four were placed exactly like the TENS electrodes and the other two, one in the palm and the other at the height of the asteroid ganglion. Duration of the intervention was 24 min for a total of 15 sessions. The frequency was 50 Hz and the intensity was 100 μA.
MENS
TENS
TENS are applied through the placement of four electrodes on either side of the deltoid muscle, on the front and back surfaces of the shoulder joint for 20 min and each patient received 15 sessions (five per week). A constant current of high frequency was used (100 HZ) and its intensity was initiated at 10mA and was then gradually increased to 15mA
