Chronic pain affects around 11% of the population and pain management costs the NHS Pounds 270 million a year. Conclusions are mixed but many studies have found TENS to be effective in the management of chronic pain, especially if used correctly and for a sufficient duration. The nurse's role as patient educator can be a strong influence on the therapy's success.
