tEns and pain management
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a
non-invasive pain relief method for which clinical proof
exists that it can help relieve pain. TENS is used daily
by physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals.
During TENS treatment, electrical pulses are passed
across the intact surface of the skin to activate the
underlying nerves. Clinical evidence suggests that TENS
produces pain relief in a similar way to the nervous
system's own pain-relief mechanisms, for instance
similar to massaging a painful area.
The pulses are generated by the battery-powered
TENS units, which have to be connected to the self-
adhesive hydrogel electrodes. You can choose from
a set of preset TENS programs with different pulse
settings and can adjust the intensity of the pulse
according to your own preference. This booklet
contains information on the placing of the electrodes
and the programs used for treatment.
