tEns and pain management
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a

non-invasive pain relief method for which clinical proof

exists that it can help relieve pain. TENS is used daily

by physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals.

During TENS treatment, electrical pulses are passed

across the intact surface of the skin to activate the

underlying nerves. Clinical evidence suggests that TENS

produces pain relief in a similar way to the nervous

system’s own pain-relief mechanisms, for instance

similar to massaging a painful area.

The pulses are generated by the battery-powered

TENS units, which have to be connected to the self-

adhesive hydrogel electrodes. You can choose from

a set of preset TENS programs with different pulse

settings and can adjust the intensity of the pulse

according to your own preference. This booklet

contains information on the placing of the electrodes

and the programs used for treatment.
