      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: To produce random sequences in this clinical trial, we will use this site: http://www.graphpad.com/quickcalcs/index.cfm.This study will be conducted as a pilot study in two groups of 30. The responsible physician for this study will randomly divide the patients into TENS (T) and Duloxetine (D) groups based on quadruple block method, Blinding description: Three months before starting the treatment, patients will be asked to discontinue all their analgesics and receive gabapentin 400-300 milligrams daily. After three months, if the symptoms of the patient are adequately controlled and there were no side effects, They will be excluded. Other patients who did not respond to the treatment will be randomly assigned to TENS (T) or Dolextine (D) by the responsible physician. In this study, the physician that evaluates patients after treatment is blind and unaware of the treatment group. But because of the method of administration, patients are aware of their treatment.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Three months before the start of treatment, patients will be asked to discontinue all their analgesics and receive gabapentin 400-300 milligrams per day. If the symptoms of the patient were not adequately controlled with this drug and Or have side effects they will be excluded. Three months later, patients will randomly be divided into two groups: TENS (T) and Duloxetine (D).In group T, an electrode above the wrist and another will be placed below the knee. Patients will receive a tense scan (E 3 model, Omran Location) for 20 minutes with a ((80 Hz, 50 Amp, 0.2 ms Square Pulse 2 to 3 times sensory threshold) profile. For four weeks, sessions will be held Every other day. Then, twice a week for three months, patients undergo treatment with Tense. In the first 4 weeks, patients will be visited weekly and then every 4 weeks. Patients will be followed up for  3 months. Intervention 2: Intervention group: In the duloxetine group (20 milligrams tablets, the Abidi Pharmaceutical Company), in the first week, 20 milligrams per day, in the second week, 40 milligrams per day , and from week 3 to 12 ,60 milligrams of duloxetine per day will be received. During the first 4 weeks,they will be visited weekly and then every 4 weeks.Patients will be follow up for 3 months.</i_freetext>
