TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) is a therapy which uses the low-voltage electric current to stimulate the nerves. Some people experience less pain when the current is delivered as the electrodes stimulate the nerves and send signals to the brain to block the normal pain signals. Another theory suggests that stimulating the nerves through the electric current block the perception of pain by helping the body to produce endorphin, a natural painkiller.
