Dear Dr Wei.
Thank you for your answer, I think that it will help me in my work with this patient. Based on my knowledge I placed 1. electrode a bit lower than you suggested and 2. a bit above Fossa Supraspinata, I tried to achieve the positiv effect of the "gate-control Theory". We have at this moment tried my "suggestion" 4 times, each treatment lasted about 40 min, and the patient has responded positivly to it. He says the "icing" decreases in strength at its effect lasts about an hour. I think there are more ways to treat this problem in Norway, but his treating doctor recommended that he should try this first.
- What other methods do you recommend?
- We have heated packs at our institute would they do any good as an extra application to the TENS?
Best reagards
