Summary

The present study aims to verify the analgesic potential of a new methodological proposal for application for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS interactive) using patients with primary dysmenorrhoea and compare it with placebo in a randomized double blind study with convenience sample.

Detailed description

The denouement will be the intensity of pain from visual analogue scale.

Conditions

• Primary Dysmenorrhea

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	TENS	In the active group there was only one application with interactive TENS (n = 42) with the final parameters of frequency between 90 and 150pps and pulse duration between 300 and 400μs and intensity level of tolerance, lasting 35 minutes.
DEVICE	TENS (sham)	In the placebo group, there was a simulated single application, following the same procedures as the active TENS group, also for 35 minutes.
