[This is from the Chronic Pain Conference]

TENS are pretty controversial - some people claim it helps while research
has ruled them to be ineffective. I have tried them and find them
disappointing: you substitute your pain for an electrical charge - yet the
pain persists. Worst of all, if you turn funny while the leads are active,
you can get painful electrical shocks shooting through your pained areas! I
found it much more trouble than it was worth. Hope this helps...
