Transcutaneous Electrical Neuromuscular Stimulation:
Please note, this management does NOT treat the condition itself. It may mildly help with some of the symptoms, and even then has insufficient evidence to back up this claim at present.
Recommendation: no recommendation (Available evidence does not support claims that TENS can help to treat Bursitis in any way)
Grade of Evidence: low quality of evidence
