minus-squareRobotToaster@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down2·3 days agoThis study looks questionable. Sham TNS delivered 30 seconds of stimulation per hour at lower frequency and pulse width It seems just as likely that TNS isn’t particularly sensitive to the frequency and pulse width. It also looks like a lot of the researchers have funding from pharmaceutical companies.
