Zusammenfassung

Die transkutane elektrische Nervenstimulation (TENS) nahm ihren Aufschwung Mitte der 70er Jahre v. a. in den angelsächsischen Ländern wie USA [1, 2], Kanada [3, 50, 51] und Australien [31]. Inzwischen wird über diese Methode zur (postoperativen) Schmerzlinderung weltweit berichtet; in der Literaturliste sind Beiträge aus der Türkei [4], China [22], Südafrika [39], Italien [61] und Skandinavien [19, 23, 29] aufgeführt.
