Main Article Content
Pain represents a very prevalent condition. It affects people's health, productivity, performance in daily life activities and increases economic costs, both for health entities and for the people themselves. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a tool known for its ability to generate analgesia. The proper and standardized use of this instrument is still under review. Its effect is enhanced when, in addition to the health professional, the patient understands its use and application. Objective: To review through the literature the role of education in the use of TENS and to suggest a proposal for training patients to enable its proper use. Methodology: literature review through Pubmed, Clinicalkey, Chrocane, Scielo, ScienceDirect, Sportdiscus and PEDRO databases, between February and April 2023. Conclusion: Although no specific studies on patient education in the use of TENS were found, there is scientific evidence that supports its therapeutic effect and the importance for the patient to understand its use, in addition to highlighting the role of education in general health processes and their repercussions. For this reason, a proposal for patient education on the use of the current was developed, which covers the understanding of its operation and allows interaction in everyday situations of its applicability, in order to respond to the suggestions found in health education.
