It must be remembered that an electronic stimulator is a very effective analgesic
instrument and that pain can indicate various types of medical conditions!
The programs described in this paragraph are analgesic. You are advised to read
the manual carefully before using SMART TENS.
REMEMBER THAT PAIN IS A SIGN:
consult a doctor to identify the medical condition before using SMART
TENSis a therapeutic technique mainly used for analgesic purposes to counter the
effects (usually pain) of a wide variety of medical conditions. For this purpose it finds
application in treating everyday ailments troubling mankind: neck pain, arthrosis,
myalgia, neuritis, back pain, periarthritis, heaviness in legs, muscle weakness, just to
mention a few.
Position of electrodes and intensity levels.
The electrodes should be positioned to form a square surrounding the painful area
using Channel 1 and Channel 2 as shown in illustration 1 (red up/black down are not
important for therapeutic purposes, follow instructions on electrodes position manual).
The intensity should be adjusted to a level between the thresholds of perception and
pain: the maximum intensity level is the moment in which the muscles surrounding the
area treated begin to contract; over this limit stimulation does not become more
effective, just more irritating, so it is best to stop before that point.
P01 • Endorphinic TENS
This type of stimulation produces two types of effects according to how the electrodes
are positioned: positioning the electrodes in the dorsal region, see photo 08 in the
positions manual, promotes the endogenous production of morphine-like substances
capable of raising the pain perception threshold; positioning the electrodes to form a
