Zapping away stiffness: TENS shows promise for spinal cord injury spasticity

This study tests whether a gentle electrical current (TENS) applied to the lower back can reduce muscle stiffness and improve movement in people with spinal cord injuries. Forty adults with injuries between the neck and mid-back will either receive TENS for two months or wait two months before treatment. Researchers will measure changes in muscle tone, knee motion, and strength to see if TENS helps.
