Purpose:The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of transcutaneous electrical stimulation on autonomic nervous system using heart rate variability analysis. Methods:31 subjects were evaluated with HRV before and after a single high-frequency TENS for 15minutes treatment. The standard deviation of all the normal RR-interval(SDNN) and lower frequency/high frequency ratio(LF/HF ratio) were recorded with TAS-9. Results:After single TENS treatment, autonomic adaptation as analyzed by SDNN was increased from 42.47±12.96 to 4.43±16.76(p>0.05) and autonomic balance as analyzed by LF/HF ratio was increased from 1.4±0.45 to 1.45±0.41(p>0.05). Conclusion:In this study, SDNN and LF/HF ratio changed in health young students as a reslut of single TENS treatment. But there is no significant difference between pre-treatment and post-treatment of SDNN and LF/HF ratio.
