non-surgical periodontal therapy could be painfull for some patients and the pain that they may experience can let them avoid therapies, with huge risks for their oral health. Transcutaneous electrical neurostimulation (TENS) is a device largely used in temporomandibular disorders in order to reduce pain. The aim of our study is to analyze the effect of Transcutaneous electrical neurostimulation (TENS) at the tragus during non-surgical periodontal therapy fro pain relief
