“…In the experimental group, the intervention consisted of an ultrasound-guided percutaneous puncture using the General Electric Logiq S7 R3 ultrasound device with highfrequency linear probe of 12 MHz and a dry puncture needle of 0.30 Â 0.40 mm 2 (Agupunt ® ). An approach to the long axes of the median and cubital nerves was conducted placing the point of the needle next to the nerves epineurium (1 mm), on the inner side of the distal third (Figure 1), a method that is regarded as safe and precise for these nerves (Tornero et al, 2017). Additionally, by guiding the intervention by ultrasound and reducing the biological risk, the technique can be considered to be safe (Eldabe et al, 2016).…”

Percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS) consists of applying an electric current of <1,000 Hz to different neuromuscular structures through acupuncture needles. Currently, there is controversy surrounding the effect of PENS on muscle strength in the scientific literature. The main objective was to assess the effect of PENS applied to the median and cubital nerves on the maximum handgrip strength (MHS) compared to sham stimulation, as well as to determine the safety of the intervention. A parallel, randomized, double‐blind controlled trial in a sample of 20 healthy subjects. Participants were randomly allocated in the experimental (n = 10) and control (n = 10) groups. A blinded researcher measured MHS. Measurements of MHS of the dominant hand were taken at four time points: preintervention, immediately postintervention, 24 hr after the intervention, and at a 10‐day follow‐up. A 10‐Hz percutaneous electrical current stimulation was employed. The control group also received the same puncture method but with no electric stimulation. Compared to baseline, the MHS decreased 10.4% (SEM = 3.2, p = .02) in the PENS group at 24 hr postintervention, with no differences observed between baseline and at 10 days postintervention. No changes in grip strength were observed at any time point in the sham group. To sum up, PENS decreased MHS at 24 hr postintervention, which does not persist 10 days after the stimulation. PENS can be considered a safe technique. Trials with larger sample sizes are required to corroborate the findings of this study.
