Abstract
Aim. This study was conducted to assess the effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on Sympathetic ganglion in Leriche-Fontaine stage II peripheral arterial disease. Materials and Methods. Forty patients with unilateral PAD (Leriche-Fontaine stage II) were chosen from the Vascular Outpatient Clinic, El Sahel Educational Hospital. All patients were randomly divided into two groups of the same number. Study group and control group. Study group: received low-frequency 45 min per session, 3 times per week and 12 weeks. Control group: the placebo stimulation was delivered by same TENS device but with a voltage level falling to zero after 10 s of stimulation. Ankle peak systolic velocity (APSV), Arterial diameter (AD) and Actual claudication distance (ACD) were measured. Results. Descriptive statistics, such as standard deviation, mean, maximum and minimum, have been calculated for both groups. The t-test was conducted to compare the mean difference between the two groups after and before intervention and revealed a significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion. It was concluded that application of TENS to sympathetic ganglion enhances in Ankle peak systolic velocity (APSV), Arterial diameter (AD) and Actual claudication distance (ACD) in patients with intermittent claudication.

Abstract

Background. The transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation was to evaluate of work usefulness of and examining of applied method of treatment onto level of fear at ill with chronic pain in ground of spine. Material and methods. Investigation degeneration were moved in group of 59 patients with symptoms of chronic pain in after-effect of changes-disfiguring section of loin spine. Level of fear in studied group ISCL were estimated behind help of questionnaire. Heal conduct hugged endeavors with use of impulses TENS as well as heal practices. Results. The statistical tests dependence was showed between level of fear in studied group and results of treatment. Sex was not essential meaning in formation both guilds as state of fear in studied group. Conclusions. Applied method of treatment contributed to lower of level of fear in studied group and results confirmed usefulness in treatment ill with symptoms of chronic pain.

Abstract
Background. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of TENS and its impact on pain intensity, mobility range and functional capacity of the spine in subjects with a diagnosed lumbar discopathy. Material and methods. The study group consisted of 40 patients with a diagnosed lumbar discopathy. This group was subjected to TENS therapy. The intensity of pain, functional status and mobility range of the lumbar spine in the sagittal, frontal and transverse planes were assessed in all patients before and after the therapy.Results. The results indicate that functional capacity correlates significantly with pain level. The sensation of pain is the main determinant of patients’ physical and mental well-being. It is reflected both in differences in pain level owing to TENS (the patients’ physical and mental state was getting better along with decreasing pain level) and in the values of this parameter before and after the TENS therapy. The observed differences were statistically significant, allowing the conclusion that functional capacity correlates significantly with pain intensity.Conclusion. Pain intensity decreased considerably under the influence of TENS, which also had a marked effect on increasing lumbar flexion range in the sagittal plane. The patient’s functional capacity improved significantly with TENS and, consequently, so did their general physical and mental well-being.
