This study looks questionable.
It seems just as likely that TNS isn't particularly sensitive to the frequency and pulse width.
It also looks like a lot of the researchers have funding from pharmaceutical companies.
In this case sham is British for placebo. Only the control group got the “sham tns”.
I realise that, my point is that the "sham TNS" may be acting as active TNS.
They found no improvement in either group, so no.
lol, being called "sham" surely can't help
Sham is a term for control and it's the proper way to do a study. This toy is bullshit, now quantified.
