Methods: Fifty-five healthy volunteers received either: (i) 30 minutes TENS (25 participants) (ii) 30 minutes sham TENS (30 participants) and SSR test was performed pre- and post-TENS. The mean values of latency and peak-to-peak amplitude of five consecutive SSRs were calculated. Results: A significant amplitude difference was found between TENS and sham TENS group both in right and left hand (p = 0.04, p = 0.01, respectively). However there was no significant latancy difference between two groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: TENS has an inhibitory effect on elicited SNS responses when compared with sham TENS control group.
