TENS
Programmes
Transcutaneous
Stimulation provides a natural solution to
pain relief in one of two ways:
•
Pain Gate
Stimulates sensory nerves to block pain
signals from being received from the
brain.
Pain Gate Stim provides pain relief whist
being used.
•
Endorphin Release
Low frequency TENS promotes the release
of endorphins, the body's natural pain
killer.
Endorphin Release builds up over 40
minutes and will last several hours after
stimulation is ended.
•
Programme Selection
There is not one programme for a
particular
condition,
choice varies from each person, even
if they have the same type of pain. The
"Recommneded Use" are suggestions to
help with programme selection. However,
each user needs to select both the
programme and the positioning of the
electrode pads that is best for them.
•
Intensity Selection
The stimulation sensation should be
strong but comfortable. Further increases
during use may be necessary if your
body becomes used to the sensation.

Frequency of Use
TENS can be used for as long as it is
necessary.
Continuous
safe, but electrode pads should be
repositioned regularly (at least every 12
hours) to allow the skin to be exposed to
the air.
The Endorphin Release programmes work
best when the strength is high enough
to cause small muscle contractions.
Best results are achieved with a session
duration between 20 and 40 minutes.
Longer use may cause muscle ache.
