http://www.carerehab.com/protocols.html#TENS
This seems to be the motherload. What is this interferential current device? On that page they have some protocols for nervepain. Looks like its slightly different then TENS. Found this: http://www.texas-medical.com/info/IFinfo.htm |

Inferential is actually better. I had it at PT... The therapist says
the inferential currents change in wave form and that somehow causes healing. TENs only mask nerve signals. I had inferential for almost 3 months along with ultrasound when I had my tendon/hip/groin injury. You can buy them too online, and they are between 100 and 200 dollars.

I think the website below has a good overall explanation of the types of stims and what the main focus of each do-

i used interferential therapy for nerve pain, the throbbing, burning, squeezing pain. it was very effective for me getting that type of pain under control especially for the pain that seems to intensify when you go to bed. I found it more effective than tens therapy.

Thanks for sharing. Can you be more specific as far as what settings you used, electrode placement, treatment duration and pain intensity throughout the treatment cycle?
