What is TENS?

TENS is a form of therapy that uses low-frequency electrical currents to stimulate nerves and block pain signals from reaching the brain. It is a small device that generates electrical impulses intended to achieve analgesia.

How does TENS work?

When TENS is applied, the electrodes send small electrical currents through the skin, stimulating the underlying nerve fibers. These electrical currents can interfere with pain signals that travel along the nerves to the brain.

Benefits of TENS

Improves physical function: By reducing pain, TENS can help improve physical function and mobility, allowing patients to participate in daily activities with greater comfort.

Portability: Many TENS units are portable and can be used at home or on the go, giving patients the flexibility to receive treatment anytime, anywhere.

Characteristics:

1. Intended for analgesia

2. They usually have 2 exits

3. Intensity up to 50 mA

4. Burst, fixed frequency (FF) and modulation (M) working modes

5. Adjustable frequency between 1 to 50 or 200 Hz

6. Session time can be 15.20 to 30 minutes

7. Some teams offer the possibility of trains

8. Bursts are small bursts, which can be used by muscle vibration.

9. Electrodes are usually small and the same

10. The electrodes are placed on painful points or in the most appropriate way for analgesia.

11. The motor response should not be exceeded

12. TENS is intended to stimulate sensory nerve fibers

Who can benefit from TENS?
