More Information

• How TENS Works?
  There is nothing magic about Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). TENS is intended to be used to relieve pain. The TENS unit sends comfortable impulses through the skin that stimulate the nerve (or nerves) in the treatment area. In many cases, this stimulation will greatly reduce or eliminate the pain sensation the patient feels. Pain relief varies by individual patient, mode selected for therapy, and the type of pain. In many patients, the reduction or elimination of pain lasts longer than the actual period of stimulation (sometimes as much as three to four times longer). In others, pain is only modified while stimulation actually occurs. You may discuss this with your physician or therapist.
• Precautions:
  - Isolated cases of skin irritation may occur at the site of electrode placement following long-term application.
  - Effectiveness is highly dependent upon patient selection by a person qualified in the management of pain patients. 
• Contradictions:
  - TENS devices can affect the operation of demand type cardiac pacemakers. 
  - TENS is not recommended for patients with known heart disease without physical evaluation of risk.
  - Do not use TENS on the carotid sinus (neck) region.
  - Do no apply TENS for undiagnosed pain syndromes until etiology is established.
  - Do not stimulate on the site that may cause current to flow transcerebrally - (through the head).
• Adverse Reactions:
  - Possible allergic to gel, skin irritation and electrode burn are potential adverse reactions.
