Transcutaneous Electronics Ns And Unilateral Neglect After An Acute Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract

Transcutaneous electronics nerve stimulation may be effective in treating unilateral neglect following an acute stroke, but this is uncertain. In situations of perceptual impairment such unilateral neglect, transcutaneous electronics nerve stimulation's stimulatory actions can help with the sense of touch sensation. The goal was to ascertain whether transcutaneous electronics nerve stimulation (TENS) or conventional treatment had a better effect on unilateral neglect after an acute stroke. A total of 80 stroke victims had their health condition evaluated. One of two groups—interference or control—was randomly allocated to a total of twenty-four patients. The same drug was administered to both groups once daily for 20 minutes. Transcutaneous electronics nerve stimulation was administered to the intervention group for five days, 25 minutes per day. The differences between the intervention and the control group for the line bisection measure, index are 2.49 0.97, 9.08 1.56, and 21.25 4.82 and 0.40 0.17, 3.33 1.15, and 10.00 4.76, respectively. Comparison group of line split test, Catherine Bergego scale and Barthel index proved to be statistically significant (p 0.001).
