Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Back Pain

Could a TENs stimulator help my chronic low back pain?

A recent review of studies available, indicates that transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), may provide immediate decrease in pain intensity. However, there was no evidence that TENS can improve short-term or long-term pain or perceived disability for chronic low back pain.
