Hence, the need to use high intensities that reach deep tissues to ensure the effectiveness of TENS application.<\/p><p>In addition, at the spinal level, the &#8220;Gate Control&#8221; theory suggests that the involvement of inhibitory downstream supraspinal pathways would modulate spinal neurons.<\/p><p>However, the most recent available evidence confirms that in both cases endogenous opioid secretion is the main physiological mechanism responsible for analgesia produced by the application of TENS. There are three types of opioid receptors that are located peripherally, in the spinal cord and in supraspinal areas related to downward inhibition pathways. At each of these three levels, TENS has different physiological mechanisms of action.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TREATMENTS TENS TENS: Analgesia induced by transcutaneous or percutaneous neurostimulation.
