1Conventional TENS 80 Hz 180 µs No limit (minimum 30 minutes). 30 minutes Conventional TENS (high-frequency stimulation) is the first choice for both

acute and long-term pain, both neurogenic and nociceptive. Conventional

TENS is based on the Gate Control theory, which states that electric stimula-

tion of A-beta fibers inhibits impulse transfer in the pain pathways.

As a rule, the electrodes should be placed on or near the painful area, or over

an area segmentally related to the painful area. Adjust the amplitude so that

the stimulation gives strong, but pleasant paraesthesia – tingling. When using

high-frequency stimulation, it’s important to ensure that the patient has nor-

mal sensory of touch in the area where the electrodes are placed.

Neck pain ............................................................ 1

Shoulder pain ..................................................2

Elbow pain ........................................................6

Rheumatic pain ..............................................7

Fractured rib .................................................. 12

Lumbago .....................................................10,11

Menstrual pain..............................................13

Phantom limb pain ....................................14

2Burst TENS 2 Hz 180 µs 20–45 minutes, 3 times a day.

Remember that Burst TENS can

cause muscle soreness.

30 minutes Burst TENS (low-frequency stimulation) 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 effect of Conventional TENS is too short. Burst TENS treatment

alleviates pain by stimulating muscles to release the body’s own morphine-like

substances, endorphins.

Place the electrodes on a muscle in the painful area so that a visible contrac-

tion occurs, or on acupuncture points in the painful area. The stimulation

should feel pleasant and give visible muscle contractions. Remember that the

patient often feels the stimulation clearly before contractions become visible.

Mononeuropathy ..........................................8

Central pain .................................................4, 5

Cervical rhizopathy ...................................... 3

Sciatica .............................................................. 15

Knee pain .........................................................18

3Modulated pulse dura-

tion stimulation 80 Hz 70–180 µs No limit (minimum 30 minutes). 30 minutes Modulated pulse duration stimulation is a type of high-frequency stimulation

where the pulse duration varies continuously. This can cause an undulat-

ing sensation, which may be more pleasant than a constant pulse duration.

Use program 3 for pain alleviation and a massage effect on muscles like the

trapezius.

Trapezius pain .................................................9

Lumbago ....................................................10, 11
