Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation for Low Back Pain,A Randomized Crossover Study
JAMA 281:818-823, Ghoname,E.A.,et al, 1999
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
To compare the effectiveness of a novel nonpharmacologic pain therapy, percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS), with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and flexion-extension exercise therapies in patients with long-term LBP. In this sham-controlled study, PENS was more effective than TENS or exercise therapy in providing short-term pain relief and improved physical function in patients with long-term LBP.
