Background and Objectives: Transcutaneous electrical stimulation of low-and medium-
frequency currents is commonly used in pain management. Interferential current (IFC) …

Objective To compare the immediate analgesic effect of transcutaneous nerve stimulation
(TENS) and interferential current (IFC), with different combinations of parameters, in …

Methods Five research assistants (RAs) each tested 20 pain free subjects at the wrist, leg,
cervical and lumbar spine. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), standard error of …

Background Interferential current (IFC) is commonly used for pain relief, but the effects of
carrier frequency of the current and its action on pain mechanisms remain unclear. This …

Background Chronic low back pain is potentially disabling for older adults, and exercise is
considered the best treatment. The Pilates method and aerobic exercises have been proven …

Objectives Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and interferential currents
(IFC) are pain electrotherapies with questioned efficacy. Studies of their effects on tactile …

Objective To determine whether interferential current (IFC) before Pilates exercises is more
effective than placebo in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain. Design Two-arm …

Background Low back pain is an important public health problem that is associated with
poor quality of life and disability. Among the electrophysical treatments, interferential current …

The aim of the present study is to describe a study protocol to compare different types of
analgesic electrical currents on pain intensity and sensory comfort during the application of …

Objectives To compare the immediate analgesic effects of 2 kHz or 4 kHz interferential
current (IFC) with different amplitude‐modulated frequencies (AMFs)(2 Hz or 100 Hz) on …
