Program 7
URGE INCONTINENCE
Programnumber Frequency
P7 10 Hz
Normally the bladder muscle is relaxed between evacuations. In certain kinds of urge incontinence, however, the
bladder is unstable and sudden uncontrolled bladder contractions occur during the "resting phase". Urge inconti-
nence can be treated with low-frequency constant stimulation, which has a relaxing effect on the overactive bladder.
Program 7 is intended for urge incontinence treatment and should be used with a vaginal and/or anal probe. The
stimulation should be as strong as possible without being painful.

FAECAL INCONTINENCE
Programnumber Frequency

P4 20 Hz
P5 20 Hz
P6 20 Hz
Faecal incontinence can be a result of e.g. weakened pelvic floor muscles, weakened or poorly functioning anal sphin-
cter muscles or damage to the nerves controlling the anal sphincter muscles. In these cases electrical stimulation can
be used with an anal probe to increase the tonus of the pelvic floor and the anal sphincter. The stimulation should be
as strong as possible without being painful. The intensity should be sufficient enough to create a reflexive contraction
of the anus. It is helpful if the patient participates actively in the muscle contractions.
Program 8
TENS (HIGH FREQUENCY) – PAIN RELIEF
Programnumber Frequency
P8 80 Hz
High-frequency TENS stimulation is an effective treatment for relief of both acute
and chronic pain. External stimulation with surface electrodes can be used for diag-
nosed pain conditions in the lower part of the abdomen, as in cystitis.
The electrodes should be placed in the painful area over the pubic region, see elec-
trode placement picture.
