| Low frequency TENS | Device | Low TENS group participated in twelve sessions of electrical stimulation with low frequency (TENS, 10 Hz/200 μs) was applied with self-adhesive electrodes (size 9 × 5 cm,), in the paravertebral ganglionar region (from T1 to L2). The sessions took place at the same time of the day, lasted 30 min, in an acclimatized room (23 °C) and the intensity of the current was delivered at sensory-level intensity, adjusted every 5 min by the sensory threshold, during the 30 min as tolerated by each subject, but without motor contraction or pain reported by the subject. |
