Abstract
In recent years, experimental animal studies have demonstrated that no modulated high frequency alternating currents (HFAC) produce a rapid and reversible peripheral nerve block without causing damage to the nerve [1]. Clinical studies to date have investigated transcutaneous stimulation protocols leading to an increase in somatosensory thresholds [2]. Pain improvements have been demonstrated in humans with 10 and 20 kHz applications with implanted electrodes [3]. The objective of this study was to determine the effect on pressure pain threshold (PPT) of percutaneous ultrasound-guided stimulation of the median nerve with alternating currents of 30 kHz.
