Knowledge and Perceived Readiness to Use Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation for Primary Dysmenorrhea Among Female Undergraduates of the University of Ibadan
This study showed that most of the respondents had poor knowledge about the use of TENS. However, most of the participants were willing to use it. Limited awareness, financial constraints, and accessibility issues were identified as major barriers to the utilization of TENS. It is therefore important to enhance health education and digital literacy among female undergraduate students to encourage them to use online sources to learn about innovative, nonpharmacological options such as TENS for improving reproductive health and overall well-being.
