I never tried it, I always have times I get bladder spasms and take oxybutinin
for that, but as far as severe abdominal or belly spasms.....I have only had
those on 2 seperate occassions and each time I had a bad UTI that was treated
and they stopped. Dan H***

electrical stimulation that way. However, when I was using the FES REGIS
bicycle to get a lower limb/cardio workout, I noticed an overall decrease in
core spasticity. It could have been from stretching muscle groups that often
trigger, or it could have been the electrical current interfering with spastic
releases. In either case, while I was on that system, I had very low
spasticity.
I'd say, give it a try. TENS is a very mainstream technology now and
shouldn't cause any harm to try.

Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] ABDOMINAL SPASMS I have never used a TENS unit for spasms
nor have I ever heard of anyone using TENS for spasms. Spasms are usually
handled systematically using medication like Baclofen. That said,there is no
risk in trying it. If it truly is localized to the abdomen maybe Botox or
acupuncture
