NYT

This is an interesting aspect of TENS history that might merit inclusion in the Wikipedia article:

Citations needed

Please insert citations, there are many medical quotations but no citations to verifiable sources. You may consider establishing some footnotes instead of inline citations. Jenny^Len 22:34, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The IEEE references an article here that mentions the Scribonius Largus connection: IEEE abstract of The retrospectroscope: medical electricity. I. Electrostatics JCDarrow (talk) 21:31, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tone

I've put a "tone" tag on the section labelled "Safety". Whilst I appreciate the intent, the tone is suggestive of advocacy--it instructs the reader on the use of the equipment, it warns of possible risks, and so on. As an encyclopedia we may want to present some or all of that information but not in this way. --Tony Sidaway 23:54, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully better like this; I had thought there was a template for the medical disclaimer, but I didn't find it yet... --Firien ^{need help?} 15:52, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sexual Uses

TENS is often used by men for sexual stimulation. Does this use need to be at least pointed to here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.18.167.219 (talk) 10:05, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There was such a reference, removed by User:YOW2PBI on 4 April. I've replaced it. Metkat (talk) 01:44, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clinicians are people too

The phrasing of paragraph three under "Uses" seems to imply that they are not. I'm unsure how to correct this, as I don't know what the writer meant to say or where they got their information. LSASM (talk) 01:49, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
