    Effectiveness of Transcutaneous Electrical Neurostimulation (TENS) in the Treatment of Primary Dysmenorrhea
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-10-18) Estela Vargas, Sonia Melissa; Guerrero Sayago, Maribel; Bravo Cucci, Sergio David
    The objective was to determine the effectiveness of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in women with primary dysmenorrhea. The risk of selection in the individual studies was assessed using the PEDro scale and a thematic validity instrument. A search was conducted in the PubMed, EBSCOhost, and SciELO databases. Controlled clinical trials and systematic reviews of female patients with primary dysmenorrhea were included. The various treatment modalities generated changes in the symptoms of dysmenorrhea. This systematic review will determine the effects of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) compared to other treatment methods in patients with primary dysmenorrhea. Based on the results of this research, TENS will be proposed as a treatment method, as it has been shown to be effective, demonstrated by the improvement in the quality of life of these patients, such as reduced absenteeism from work and school.
