Precautions

Precautions

TENS

•

Isolated cases of skin irritation may occur at the site of electrode placement

following long-term application.

•

Effectiveness is highly dependent upon patient selection by a person qualified in the

management of pain.

NMES

•

Precautions should be taken in the presence of:

•

Recent surgical procedures when muscle contraction may disrupt the healing

process.

•

A menstruating uterus.

•

Sensory nerve damage (loss of normal skin sensation).

•

Some patients experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the conductive

medium or electrical stimulation. This condition can usually be reduced by

alternative electrode placement or use of additional or a different conductive

medium.
