Remote active and passive diagnostic electrodes
Ranges of the energy exposure and selection
The intensity of the treatment is determined on an individual basis according to each patient's subjective feelings, and is
always started from the minimum level.
The intensity of electrostimulation will normally be divided into three ranges of energy exposure: minimum, comfortable,
and maximum.
), minimum energy range
(at the sensation threshold) amounts to an effect of weak intensity, in which the
patient feels either no sensations (pain, stinging, etc.) or feels a slight vibration. This energy range is used mostly in
programs as well as in
program for early age and preschool age children.
The second (
), comfortable energy range
(above the sensation threshold but below the pain threshold) amounts to an
effect of medium intensity, in which the patient clearly feels a vibration, a pleasant stinging or burning but painless
sensation. This range is used as the main DENS mode in the
programs, in the
program, and
as the main range of energy exposure in the
program.
The third, maximum energy range
(
, sensations at the pain threshold) amounts to an effect of high intensity, in
which the patient feels painful stinging or burning. Such intense exposure may be followed by a spontaneous muscle
contraction next to the electrode (the myostimulating effect). This energy range (
program in pronounced painful conditions in adolescent and adult patients, as well as when rendering
emergency medical aid.

NOTE! Use of the electric pulse effect at an intensity exceeding the tolerable
pain threshold is not recommended.
exposure is used, as a rule, in the head, neck and chest areas;
abdomen, back and the extremities. During treatment, the level of intensity of the electrostimulation may be increased or
decreased depending on changes in the patient's sensitivity as well as any elimination of the pain syndrome. Thus, in
moderately pronounced disorders of the peripheral nerve functions, for example (numbness, paresthesia, paresis),
and
exposure should be used, whereas in cases of obvious pain
is appropriate.
Frequencies of Electric Impulse Application and Their Selection
program are always applied at the frequency of 10 Hz.
DiaDENS devices can be used at frequencies of 20, 60, 77, 140 and 200 Hz for therapeutic purposes.
20 Hz Electric Impulse Frequency
is recommended for internal organ diseases, in subacute and remote trauma periods, to
and acupuncture points on the body and the auricle. During the application of the device at a frequency of 20 Hz, the
anesthetizing effect in most patients is achieved within 15-20 minutes of DENS procedure and remains pronounced for a
period of 3-5 hours.
60, 77, 140 Hz Electric Impulse Frequencies
are recommended for influencing the direct pain projection zone, damaged
areas and functionally diseased areas, any segmental or
s, and acupuncture points on the body and auricle.
During the application of the device at such frequencies, the anesthetizing effect is achieved faster (usually within 3-5
minutes), but remains relatively unstable and may regress almost fully within 60-90 minutes following the DENS procedure.
200 Hz Electric Impulse Frequency
is used for pronounced pain syndromes related to pathology of the locomotive system
(which includes following acute traumas) and the peripheral nervous system. It is applied in direct complaint projection
zone. The effect can be observed within the first several minutes and continue for a period from several minutes to an hour.
To improve the anesthetizing effectiveness, after the pain subsides at 200 Hz, additional treatment is advised at 20, 60, or
77 Hz.
