Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) can be administered in low-frequency and high-frequency mode. No general consensus has currently been reached regarding the optimal mode. To establish the optimum conditions for TENS and clarify its analgesic effect, segmental spinal cord evoked potentials (SCEP) were elicited in thirty-five male Wistar rats by high-frequency (15) or low-frequency TENS (15) and controls (5). The results indicated that measuring SCEP was meaningful in ascertaining the analgesic effect of TENS. With high-frequency TENS, significant suppression of P1-N1 amplitude (P<0.05) and significant extension of P1 and N1 latencies were confirmed (P<0.05). In contrast, no significant changes in the various components were observed with low-frequency TENS. The results of the present study suggest that high-frequency TENS may suppress pain in the dorsal root and dorsal column of the spinal cord.
