By this way, TENS device is used for lichen simplex chronicus, generalized pruritus, atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, notalgia paraesthetica, mycosis fungoides “and pruritus due to hematological diseases,and also” itch caused by reactive perforating collagenosis and burns; in which these benefits of TENS device have been reported previously.There is no reported evidence related to clinical side effects of the device. In this review , we aim to indicate the benefit of the use of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) as an alternative to standard therapies in the treatment of itchy skin diseases.
