TENS or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation is a new mesothelioma alternative treatment method for those suffering of the asbestos exposure disease. TENS therapy makes use of energy, in the way that it uses electrodes placed on the patients skin to stimulate muscle activity.
TENS therapy uses a small battery and a control device to send small shocks to the electrodes placed in specific areas on the body, where the asbestosis patient experiences pain. This alternative treatment method is very safe, and can be done at home after a physician indicates the procedure of placing the electrodes and the areas they should be placed. It also sends electrical signals to the brain which will start producing more endorphin, a natural pain killer.

This is different from other alternative therapy methods, and will not upset the chemotherapy treatment cycles.

Doctors’ opinion on TENS therapy
TENS is actually a treatment method approved by most doctors, they will actually recommend it, but they recommend that it's done by a professional the first couple of sessions. Doctors say TENS therapy is much better as a pain killer than the actual pill, because it will not interfere with any other chemicals used to treat mesothelioma, and it will not cause symptoms to worsen or cause other symptoms to appear.
In combination with a range of other alternative treatment methods, such as aromatherapy, TENS therapy will only have stronger positive effects, but, unfortunately, it has to be stated, it will not cure mesothelioma. Many patients find it relaxing when done at home in combination with mesothelioma acupuncture.
