Abstract

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is widely used in physiotherapy for pain management. Whereas, other non-analgesic properties have been cited. Studies have shown that TENS acts through both central and peripheral mechanisms. However, little is known about these mechanisms. So, in order to improve the research on such mechanisms, we aimed to identify brain areas activated by different protocols of TENS stimulation in non-hyperalgesic rats. Fos protein expression in neurons has been used as a marker of neural activity.
