The patients with rheumatoid arthritis of the fourth grade have used the whole basic therapy and, of course, antirheumatic therapy with all their positive and negative effects. We have applied and analysed the application of analgetic physical therapy with TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation). TENS appeared to be a perfect substitution for nonsteroid antirheumatics and analgetics. Its easy application, the possibility of using at home and practically non-existent contraindications give him the priority at pain relief for rheumatoid arthritis of the fourth grade.
