Trigeminal neuralgia
Programme 1
The trigeminal neuralgia occurs with very
unpleasant pain. Mostly only one of the
trigeminal branches is affected. One electrode is
placed directly near the ear, the other electrode –
depending on the affected side – below the eye,
above the eye, or on the cheek bone, as shown in
picture 16. If already the placing of the electrodes
causes discomfort and pain, usually the not affected side is treated in the same
way as shown in picture 16. The TENS treatment can often help to relieve pain with
treatment on the not affected body side.
Pain after a zoster infection
(post-zoster neuralgia)
Programme 1
After a zoster infection may be overcome, still
discomfort and pain can be remaining reaction on
the body, especially felt on the face. With the help
of a high frequency TENS treatment, a significant
pain relief can be achieved. One electrode is
placed onto the spine next to the affected skin
area, and the other one is placed onto the radiating pain area on the stomach side,
as shown in picture 17. If already the placing of the electrodes causes discomfort
and pain, usually the not affected side is treated in the same way as shown in the
picture. The TENS treatment can often help to relieve pain with treatment on the
not affected body side.
