Abstract
We assessed transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on gastric myoelectrical activity (GMA), plasma gastric peptide levels, GI symptoms and perceived functioning in systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients. Seventeen SSc patients underwent 30 min TENS, >10Hz at GI acupuncture points PC6 and ST36, once, (acute TENS) and then after two weeks of TENS sessions at home for 30 min twice daily (prolonged TENS). Data collected included GMA by four channel surface electrogastrography (EGG), a GI specific symptoms questionnaire and health related SF-36.
