Devices

Treating dysmenorrhea with a non-pharmacological approach includes certain devices that help in reducing cramps. One such device is TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation).

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) uses low-voltage electrical currents to relieve pain. A TENS unit is a small device that delivers the current at or near your nerves to block or change your perception of pain.
