Neuromodulation...: Electrical stimulation (neuromodulation) has been used for acute and chronic pain. It's been shown to be effective in neuropathic pain conditions. Electrical stimulation increases the pain threshold by stimulation of low-threshold A-beta cutaneous fibers. However, there are other mechanism of action and modes of delivery depending on the goal, such as for pain control versus muscular contraction
