Abstract—The Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is one of the popular pain treatment modality however, there is no such documentation on its effectiveness in chronic pain management. This research study the researcher will show the update of the basic microcontroller-based transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator chair that had been developed as a medical treatment and defined as a drug-free non-invasive pain relief method which uses electrical impulses to stimulate the nerve endings pain on its near site. This research study also highlights data acquisitions on how the developed prototype would be controlled by a mobile device through a wireless and Bluetooth technology using an android device. Also in this research, the researcher also shows that Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) can be an advance pain reducing and rehabilitation technology than can be used for clinical treatment. The researcher also used an alternative electrode component rather than a conductive gel that is normally applied over the years that electronic experts and medical professionals are using towards its development.
