Abstract :
Analgesic application of electrical stimulation during an induced pain on the medical research field is an unique technique. This study is about the development of Induced Pain Inhibiting System (IPIS) which consists of new electrodes set and LabVIEWTM waveform generation system to provide a new method for analgesic treatment during an induced pain and therefore could be used as alternative technique for pain inhibition in regional anesthetic treatment
