Description[edit | edit source]

Although Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is known for non-pharmacological pain control, some scholars showed that it might also be used for brain stimulation in person with  dementia[1][2]. Application of TENS electrodes to head is called Cranial Electrical Nerve Stimulation (CES) or transcranial stimulation and it is one of the methods used to stimulate the brain of a person with dementia[1]. This method is not currently practiced by many physiotherapists who are one of the experts in non-pharmacological pain management. This paper will therefore provide information on the CES method of application to stimulate the brain of a person with dementia.
