AB - Objectives : MENS was used for wound healing and pain relief using bioelectric property. There are many articles on in vivo and clinical research.
This article reviews articles on MENS published for recent 10 years to consider effectiveness of MENS and other fields to applicate MENS. Articles were collected from MAR, 2008 to JUN, 2008.
Methods : We searched Pubmed, KSI, KERIS, KMBASE, and National assembly library using "Microcurrent Electrical Neuromuscular Stimulation" and classified the articles into subsets of foreign, Korean and wound healing, pain relief, and increasing the range of movement(ROM). Also we evaluated their values according to the Jadad scale.
Results : A total of 18 articles (Foreign-9, Korean-9) reconfirmed that MENS reduces pain, increases wound healing, ROM, and strength of muscle. In addition, MENS has effect on stress-hormone and various pain like low back pain, acute lateral epicondylitis, and plantar fascitis. And there are various styles developed. However, there is no standard protocol so the user is usually in trouble at clinic.
Conclusions : MENS may be have application to various pain diseases, and further studies analysing its effectiveness are needed.
