Setting up your Elle TENS+ in PAIN mode
19
CONSTANT
Pulses are continuous and feel like a tingly sensation. This mode is generally used for acute pain conditions.
BURST
Pulses are off and on in a regular cycle and will feel like a heartbeat sensation. This mode is generally used
for chronic pain conditions.
MASSAGE
The pulses decrease and then increase in regular cycles creating a massaging sensation.
MIXED (Dense Disperse or Han Stimulation*)
3 seconds of Constant and 3 seconds of Burst as described above.
* Professor Han suggests that switching between lowand high-frequency stimulation for three seconds each i.e. 2/100 stimulation
produces a simultaneous activation of the of the enkephalin and dynorphin systems which creates a more potent analgesic
effect to combat pain. Published in the January issue of 2003 of ‘Trends in Neuroscience’ (26:17-22).
