Sažetak
In 24 patients with chronic facial pain TENS was applied. To diminish pain
the patients were previously cured with analgetics, local infiltrations, acupunc.
ture, and some were treated surgically. The effect of all applied therapies was
not lasting. To assess the pain a modified questionnaire by Picazza, Ray and
Shealy was used. Controls were performed on the 1Qth, 2Qth and 30th day of
application. The patients were educated to use TENS at home 1-4 hours daily.
A significant decrease of drug intake was gained in 15 patients (62 . 5<~/o). The
results show that in certain number of chronic facial pain TENS represents a
successful alternative to pharmacotherapy.
