This method avoids prolonged currents and only rectangular pulses are given. Nerve stimulation is also impacted with the help of refractory periods.

What increase the chances of success?
The success of this process depends on the positioning of the local anesthetic solution near the desired nerves. Difficult nerve blocks are easily located with the help of electrical stimulation. If there is very much pain or if the patients are non cooperative, then also this method is helpful.
