TENS: or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is a therapy that uses low-voltage electrical current for pain relief. The theory is that when nerves in the painful area are stimulated by electricity they send signals to the brain that block or "scramble" normal pain signals. While not commonly used in DeQuervain's tenosynovitis, there would be no problem in trying it. Good wishes:)
