disease, electrical stimulation should be used only after careful
physician evaluation and patient instruction.
6. Place electrodes in such a way to avoid stimulation of the carotid
sinus (neck) region.
7. Patients with arterial or venous thrombosis, or thrombophlebitis are at
risk of developing embolisms when electrical stimulation is applied
over or adjacent to the vessels containing the thrombus. If a patient
has a history of deep vein thrombosis, even many years past, the
affected area should not be stimulated.
8. Do not use over swollen, infected, or inflamed areas. Do not place
electrodes over skin eruptions.
9. Fresh fractures should not be stimulated in order to avoid unwanted
motion.
10. Do not apply stimulation transcerebrally (through the head).
11. Do not use on cancer patients.
12. Stimulation should not be applied immediately following trauma or to
tissues susceptible to hemorrhage.
13. Positioning electrodes over the neck or mouth may cause severe
spasm of the laryngeal or pharyngeal muscles. These contractions
may be strong enough to close the airway or cause difficulty in
breathing.
14. Do not apply stimulation for undiagnosed pain syndromes, until
etiology is established.
15. Do not apply electrodes directly over the eyes or inside body cavities.
16. Do not use electrical stimulation in conjunction with high frequency
surgical equipment or microwave therapy systems.
17. Denervated muscle stimulation must only be applied to the individual
extremities of the human body and in such a fashion that both
electrodes are located on the same extremity.
5.3 Warnings
1. Electrical stimulation is ineffective for pain of central origin, this
includes headache.
2. Electrical stimulation must be applied by a physician or other qualified
practitioner and should be used for only the prescribed purposes.
3. Electrical stimulation is of no curative value.
4. Electrical stimulation is a symptomatic treatment and as such
suppresses the sensation of pain, which could serve as a protective
mechanism.
5. The safety of electrical stimulators for use on children has not been
determined. Keep out of reach of children.
