Short-term effects of percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on pain and muscle function in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament surgery: a randomized clinical trial
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery is associated with the presence of anterior knee pain and knee extension weakness. Percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS) is a minimally invasive technique with the objective of neuromodulating the symptoms derived from the interventi...

| Sumario: | Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery is associated with the presence of anterior knee pain and knee extension weakness. Percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS) is a minimally invasive technique with the objective of neuromodulating the symptoms derived from the intervention. The objective of the study is to analyze the short-term effect of the use of the PENS technique in patients undergoing ACL surgery. The PENS intervention combined with a rehabilitation program compared to an isolated rehabilitation program showed a short-term reduction in pain intensity and an increase in isometric strength in knee extension in patients undergoing ACL surgery. |
