采用经皮神经电刺激（TNS）治疗20例类风湿性关节炎腕关节疼痛。使用三种不同的刺激频率：高频70 Hz刺激（70 TNS）、低频3 Hz刺激（3 TNS）和内部频率为70 Hz且重复率为3 Hz的简短刺激序列（3-70 TNS）。根据患者自己对疼痛缓解的估计，并通过负荷试验（患者在使用TNS前后可以保持体重的时间长度）来评价镇痛效果。
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TNS) was used on 20 patients with severe wrist pain due to rheumatoid arthritis. Three different stimulation frequencies were used: high frequency 70 Hz stimulation (70 TNS), low frequency 3 Hz stimulation (3TNS) and brief trains of stimuli with an internal frequency of 70 Hz and with a repetition rate of 3 Hz (3–70 TNS). The analgesic effect was evaluated on the patient's own estimate of pain relief and by means of a loading test in which the length of time the patient could hold a weight before and after TNS was used.
