University of Iowa professor Kathleen Sluka, PT, PhD, led the first real-world trial of TENS for fibromyalgia. The study found that adding TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) to outpatient physical therapy reduced movement-based pain and fatigue in patients with fibromyalgia, and the effects lasted for at least six months.
