Shoulder transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation decreases heart rate via potentiating vagal tone
Abstract By enhancing vagal activity, auricle transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) is developed as a non-invasive therapy for heart failure. Nevertheless, though shoulder TENS used for treating adhesive capsulitis could affect vagal tone, its potential impact on heart functions remains u...
