Pain relisf in group B (high frequency) was significant compared to other group (P<0.05). Group B required less doses of analgesics unlike other groups (P<0.05). The data suggest that TENS with high frequency (80 HZ) minimize the postoprative pain in patients with abdominal surgery. %> http://sjh.umsha.ac.ir/article-1-1063-en. %P 0-0 %& 0 %! %9 Original %L A-11-374-32 %+ %G eng %@ 2588-722X %[ 1997
