A TENS-stimulator works by inhibiting the pain stimulating pathways in your spine that are usually too active in chronic pain. Chronic pain results in lowering your pain tolerance. By sending electrical signals via stickers on your back, this happens less. Doesn't help everyone, but it definitely works for quite some people.
