TENS is already recommended in clinical practice to treat chronic neuropathic pain.

TENS is already recommended in clinical practice to treat chronic neuropathic pain. The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of 2 different modes of TENS: conventional TENS (c-TENS) and mixed-frequency TENS (m-TENS). Randomization will determine the mode that the patient has to test during the first month. Each patient will test successively each mode during 1 month at home (3 sessions 1 hour/day). Then, the patient will test the other mode during the second month. Up to 6 months, the patient will be free to use the mode of TENS he wants.
