Pain relief is obtained using different methods of symptomatic treatments, one of which is electroanalgsia, the use of which is a controversial issue among scientists and researchers. The aim of this research is to determine the efficacy and types of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) on pain relief in painful diabetic poly neuropathy. <u>Materials and Methods</u>: The design of study was a double blind randomized controlled trial. Forty one subjects with diabetic mellitus Type II, complaining of pain were selected, and assigned into three groups treated during two phases. Two kinds of Electrical Nerve Stimulation i.e.,TENS and Diadynamic were given to two groups, and for the third we used sham stimulation. The outcome measure of the study was quality of pain (0-5) and visual analog scale (V.A.S.). Data collection and analysis was done by SPSS software. <u>Results</u>: Mean score of pain decreased in all groups after treatment, but no significant differences were seen between groups. <u>Conclusion</u>: Although, using TENS and diadynamic are beneficial in some patients conditions, no significant differences in the effects of either TENS or the diadynamic current, or the placebo on pain in diabetic patients were observed. </font></strong></p> دیابت نوع 2، پلی‌نوروپاتی، تحریک الکتریکی پوستی، تنس، دیادینامیک، دارونما Diabetes type II, Polynewropathy, Electrical Nerve Stimulation, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, Diadynamic, Placebo 363 369 http://ijem.sbmu.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-4-94&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 AA Pourmomeny عباسعلی پورمؤمنی pourmomeny@rehab.mui.ac.ir 4000319475328460011341 4000319475328460011341 Yes M Amini مسعود امینی 4000319475328460011385 4000319475328460011385 No H Safaei حسن صفائی 4000319475328460011386 4000319475328460011386 No A Hassanzadeh اکبر حسن زاده 4000319475328460011387 4000319475328460011387 No
