Has anyone ever heard of this or better yet tried it?

Do you mean Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)? If yes, I have had this done by therapists and I use a home model that fits in a pocket or on your waistband. It is one of my BEST home non-medicinal helpers! Here is a website that will give some info:

This article is dated 3/7/2008 citing current pain relief effectiveness for TENS.

I have used mine 2003 and for me is still effective. The wires are easily concealed under clothing, nobody really needs know you have it on. I use it morning noon or night when ever I need. Maybe not a miracle "but it sure do work for me" I hope it helps you.

Smooth evening
