Exploring patients’ experiences of using Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation for Claudication
TENS may support self-management of claudication pain and enhance physical activity in some individuals with PAD. However, managing patient expectations and addressing device usability are essential to optimise outcomes. Healthcare practitioners may play a key role in supporting education, tailoring advice, and evaluating the appropriateness of TENS as part of individualised care plans.
