摘要
Generalized pruritus is a notoriously troublesome condition for both patient and dermatologist. This paper describes the favourable therapeutic effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in two elderly patients with severe chronic generalized pruritus unresponsive to other treatment. The therapeutic application of TENS to the treatment of generalized pruritus has not previously been described.
