Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a musculoskeletal pain and fatigue disorder for which the cause is still unknown. Fibromyalgia means pain in the the fibrous tissues in the body i.e. the muscles, ligaments and tendons. The main symptom of fibromyalgia is severe muscle pain but it can also be accompanied by: fatigue, chest pain,
headaches, fever, abdominal pain, insomnia, swollen lymph nodes, irritable bowel syndrome and depression.
In addition to pain relieving drugs, there are a number of suggested treatments for fibromyalgia. Low intensity exercise is seen as very useful. Stress reduction techniques and acupuncture have also been known to help as have vitamins and dietary supplements. An excellent drug free alternative is TENS.
TENS or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation is a non-invasive, drug-free method of pain relief. Pads are placed on or near the area of pain. TENS uses soothing pulses that are sent via the pads through the skin and along the nerve fibres. The pulses suppress pain signals to the brain. TENS also encourages the body to produce higher levels of its own natural pain killing chemicals called Endorphins and Encephalins.
In many cases, this stimulation will greatly reduce or eliminate pain. Relief may continue for several hours after the unit has been switched off.
