Abstract

Purpose：The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of transcutaneous electrical stimulation on autonomic nervous system using heart rate variability analysis. Methods：31 subjects were evaluated with HRV before and after a single high-frequency TENS for 15minutes treatment. The standard deviation of all the normal RR-interval(SDNN) and lower frequency/high frequency ratio(LF/HF ratio) were recorded with TAS-9. Results：After single TENS treatment, autonomic adaptation as analyzed by SDNN was increased from $42.47\pm12.96$ to $4.43\pm16.76$(p>0.05) and autonomic balance as analyzed by LF/HF ratio was increased from $1.4\pm0.45$ to $1.45\pm0.41$(p>0.05). Conclusion：In this study, SDNN and LF/HF ratio changed in health young students as a result of single TENS treatment. But there is no significant difference between pre-treatment and post-treatment of SDNN and LF/HF ratio.
