• You can use low frequency (<10 Hz)
programmes on acupuncture points,

• With neurogenic pain (caused by
inflamed nerves) such as shingles
and neuralgia, TENS may start by
increasing the pain. We recommend
that you only use TENS for these
conditions
under
supervision.
• You can safely use TENS as long as
it gives you pain relief. The effect
may wear off after a few hours (this
is called "accommodation"). If this
happens, take a break of an hour or
so before trying again. If you use
settings
that
movement for more than 40 minutes,
you may experience aching muscles
a few hours later.
