    Transcutaneous nerve stimulation effectively treated pain and phobias in two patients. The positive effects of this non-invasive neuromodulation technique were long-lasting.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Chronic pain and intractable phobias present significant therapeutic challenges.
    • Non-invasive neuromodulation techniques are being explored for complex conditions.

    Observation:

    • Two patients with moderate pain and severe phobias were treated.
    • Short courses of transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TNS) were administered.

    Findings:

    • Both patients exhibited substantial improvement in pain and phobia symptoms.
    • Treatment effects persisted during follow-up, indicating sustained therapeutic benefit.

    Implications:

    • Transcutaneous nerve stimulation may offer a viable, enduring treatment for comorbid pain and phobia.
    • Further research into TNS for psychiatric and pain disorders is warranted.
