Abstract :The Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) is one of the medical devices that uses electricity to stimulate the nerve and produce analgesic effects. A TENS device is a small battery-powered or city-powered device with ends attached to sticky pads called electrodes. TENS, with its main purpose of helping to reduce pain and muscle spasms, has a wide usage area, especially in arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic pelvic pain, knee pain, menstrual pain, low back pain, sports injuries, and atrophic muscle tissue cases. In this study, a Transcutaneous electrical stimulation device, which is one of the physical therapy methods performed by applying electrical energy, was designed. Designed device; it is easy to use, low cost, and suitable for patients, and ardunio is used for integration and programming.Keywords : TENS device, gate-control theory, oscilloscope, pertinax, breadboard
