RhoGam is a vaccine like globulin shot that was developed in the late 1960s to keep a Rh negative woman from becoming sensitized to the Rh positive blood of her fetus in the unlikely event blood mixing occurs. Rhogam works very much like an immunization.
However, some new research has shown that TENS may be effective for reducing pain in people who have fibromyalgia, especially in combination with other treatments, such as exercise. Fibromyalgia is often treated with various medications to relieve pain and improve sleep.
TENS is the acronym for Transcutaneous Electrical Neural (or Nerve) Stimulation. The small electrical currents of TENS are adjusted to send stimulating pulses over the surface of the skin and into nerve endings. Those pulses help to decrease pain by blocking pain signals from reaching the brain.MS differs from TENS in that it is designed to stimulate muscle motor nerves, while TENS is designed to stimulate sensory nerve endings to help decrease pain. Contraction/relaxation of muscles has been found to effectively treat a variety of musculoskeletal and vascular conditions.
