Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a non-invasive method of using electric current produced by a small, battery-powered device to stimulate the nerves for pain relief. It helps relieve pain by interrupting the pain signals sent to the brain and causes the body to produce endogenous opioids that also help suppress pain. TENS machines are commonly used for acute and chronic pain conditions such as musculoskeletal pain, neuropathic pain, and postoperative and labor pain. The global TENS market has been growing at a steady pace in recent years owing to factors such as rising geriatric population prone to orthopedic conditions and associated pain, increasing preference for non-drug therapies among patients, and growing adoption of wearable devices for pain management.
Market Dynamics:
The global transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation market is driven by the rising geriatric population worldwide prone to chronic pain conditions, growing prevalence of neuropathic and musculoskeletal disorders, and increasing need for non-drug pain therapies. However, availability of alternative drug-based therapies and lack of clinical efficacy data are some of the factors expected to restrain the market growth. Emergence of digital TENS devices with Bluetooth connectivity for remote monitoring presents lucrative opportunities. Innovation of wearable TENS devices integrated with technologies like AI for customized treatment based on pain intensity also holds promise.
