There is evidence to support the operation of TENS units. Search for "Gate
control theory". This theory also explains why acupuncture, some pain
killers, endorphins and adrenaline also have a pain numbing effect. Think
transistors.. and the gate either allows signals through or not, both
chemical and electrical stimulus can close the gate so signals either don't
pass through the nervous system to the brain, or pass at a much reduced
level.
