简介
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on blood flow and skin temperature following an elevation of baseline blood flow using infrared preheating. A randomized controlled approach was used whereby 66 healthy human subjects (33 male, 33 female) were allocated to one of three intervention groups (n = 22 per group, equal male and female): Control, Low frequency TENS (4 Hz/200 μs), or High frequency TENS (110 Hz/200 μs). TENS was applied just below motor threshold over the median nerve of the right forearm for 15 min immediately following an infrared preheating. Cutaneous blood flow and skin temperature were recorded at 3‐min intervals from the forearm and fingertips during TENS and for 15 min following TENS. Analysis of data revealed no significant differences between High and Low frequency TENS for cutaneous blood flow …
