Program overview
Conventional TENS programs
Conventional TENS is a common TENS program
with high-frequency stimulation. It is based on the
Gate Control Theory that states that this type of
stimulation will block transmission of pain signals in
the nervous system. It is comparable to 'rubbing the
pain away'. Most people use Conventional TENS
for 30 minutes per session, but you can use it as
often and as long as it feels comfortable. The effect
is usually most perceptible during stimulation and
generally wears off rather quickly after stimulation.
You have to adjust the intensity of the program so
that you clearly feel the stimulation. Stimulations
must not feel unpleasant or painful.
