A bit over two years ago, I was in the hospital, and the person who shared
my room was using a TENS unit.  At that time it was described as an
experimental treatment, which required a release from him.  It was very
effective...he was in for disk surgery, and was not on any drugs; the
major problem was that occasionally it was knocked loose.  If the electrode
was not in GOOD contact, he got zapped.  One time a nurse had to adjust it,
she also got zapped (& jumped about three feet).  It seemed like a very good
product, but one which needed some work to develop a more secure way to fasten
the electrodes on.
