Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
TENS
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) was applied to the brachial plexus at the supraclavicular fossa (Erb's point) and to the radial nerve between the biceps and triceps in the spiral groove. The frequency was set at 10 Hz, and the intensity was adjusted to a level that elicited sensation without causing pain or muscle twitching, for a duration of 45 minutes, five days a week, totaling 20 sessions over four weeks, combined with standard upper extremity conservative occupational therapy training.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
a therapeutic modality employing electric current to relieve pain by activating peripheral nerves. The evolution of TENS units alongside technological advancements has led to user-friendly interfaces and enhanced portability, with units now small enough to be carried in a pocket.
Sham TENS
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) on the affected arm according to the same treatment protocol as above; however, the device was not turned on, and no electrical current was delivered (Placebo).
