TENS Therapy Group

patients received acupoint TENS

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

acupoint TENS

Intervention Type DEVICE

TENS was applied bilaterally on acupoint Ex-B1, 4Hz frequency, and 200 μs pulse width and intensity was set at the best highest tolerable intensity by the patient sensitivity without a sensation of discomfort for 45 minutes, three times/week for four weeks

Control group

patients received shame acupoint TENS

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

acupoint TENS

Intervention Type DEVICE

TENS was applied bilaterally on acupoint Ex-B1, 4Hz frequency, and 200 μs pulse width and intensity was set at the best highest tolerable intensity by the patient sensitivity without a sensation of discomfort for 45 minutes, three times/week for four weeks
