Design and Simulation of a Wireless Based Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator for Pain Control
Ashenafi Paulos
Pain is general term for unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage. For this reason, pain control and management is an important welfare concern even in routine management procedures of patients. The most widely used controls for pain at the present time are narcotic treatments. Recently, electrical nerve stimulation has emerged as a new mechanism for pain control that replace the narcotics which is a mechanism of injecting electrical impulse to the surface of the human body that suppressed the pain, but almost all developed systems are wired based and are not user friendly. Whereas, the narcotics most commonly prescribed have not only had a number of worrisome side effects, but also the cost is high and not affordable by most of the patients specifically in developing countries.
