The treatment Endorphinic or Burst TENS is usually most effective
for radiating (projected) pain in the arms and legs (rhizopathy), for
conditions with reduced or changed sensory of touch, for deep muscular
pain or when the post-treatment of TENS is too short.
For an acute pain you need pain relief to take part in daily activities and
not enter a vicious circle. For chronic pain you need a way to handle
your daily life. Endorphinic or Burst TENS has no known side effects and
is easy to use.
Endorphinic or Burst TENS utilises the nervous system's own pain relief
mechanisms and alleviates pain by stimulating muscles to release the
body´s own morphine-like substances, endorphins from hypothalamus.
The muscle twitches also increase the local blood circulation.Frequency:
2-5 Hz.
Mononeuropathy, central pain, cervical rhizopathy, sciatica and knee
pain.
Place the electrodes on a muscle in the painful area so a visible twitch
occurs, or on acupuncture points in the painful area. See suggested
electrodes placements on the fold out cover.
The stimulation should feel pleasant and give visible muscle twitches.
Visible muscle twitches are the key factor for the effectiveness of the
treatment.
If the patient experiences discomfort and pain during stimulation, the
2+2 function allows this programme (ch 1+2) to be combined with a pain
relief programme (ch 3+4).
