[DENAS-Vertebra--an innovative step in transcutaneous electrical neural stimulation in the realm of evidence-based medicine].

Despite data of numerous original investigations giving evidence of the high pain-relieving efficacy of transcutaneous electrical neural stimulation (TENS), the authors of the Cochraine reviews avoid definitive conclusions with respect to this issue. This discrepancy is a result of antagonism between the requirements of maximum possible degree of standardization of the method in question and the principle of necessary personification of preventive measures. Certain technological characteristics of the DENAS-Vertebra apparatus allows the acceptable level of consensus to be reached for the solution of the standardization/personification problem pertinent to TCNS procedures.
