[Usefulness of transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation in the treatment of headache of cervical origin].
Forty-one patients suffering cervical headache and evaluated in accordance with French Manual Medicine School criteria were treated with T.E.N.S. Results demonstrated significant decrease of pain improvement in physical function in these patients, which was also accompanied by changes in self-report of pain complaints. We think that T.E.N.S. can be a technique extremely reliable, practical and effective in the treatment of cervical headache syndrome and that manual semeiotic data may play an important role for screening cervical headache and for evaluating the results of treatment.
