[Purpose] This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation contralateral to the pain site for analgesia to identify the effective stimulation intensity. [Participants and Methods] Ten healthy adult females were recruited for the study. The same heat stimulation was applied to the left wrist joint of each participant to induce pain, serving as the control. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation was then randomly administered to the right wrist, corresponding to the same dermatome contralateral to the painful site, at the intensities of comfortable stimulation, pain threshold, and maximum pain. The effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation was assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale and by analysis of heart rate variability. [Results] The Visual Analogue Scale score was significantly lower after stimulation with the maximum pain intensity than that for control, and there were no significant differences among the intensities of comfortable stimulation, pain threshold, and maximum pain. No significant differences were found among the groups in terms of high and low-to-high frequency components. [Conclusion] Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation at the maximum pain intensity to the dermatome area contralateral to that of the dorsal pain site of the left wrist was considered effective.
