7.1 TENS PROGRAMMES
Using the TENS Programmes
Your nervous system is different to everyone else’s. Only you know how the stimulation feels for
you. The best way to use TENS is to try the programmes, and see which ones work best for you.
There are some general guidelines:
Programmes with High frequency (Pain Gate )
Programmes 1,2,8,9,10,11
These programmes use the Pain Gate to block the signals travelling along the pain nerves.
The sensation will fade after 5 or 10 minutes. Keep increasing the intensity so that you can always
feel the stimulation clearly. You can use these programmes as long as you like. The pain relief may
wear off after a few hours. In which case, you can take a break and try again later. Programmes 8
and 9 keep changing the sensation, which some users find will extend the effective pain relief.
Programmes with Low frequency (Endorphin release) elements
Programmmes 3,4,5,6,7,,12
These programmes encourage production of your natural endorphins but inducing very small,
repetitive muscle twitches. All but Prog3 combine this with a higher frequency to combine the pain
relief mechanisms, but may be a little less comfortable.
To be effective, you need to keep the intensity high enough to induce small muscle movements. This
limts the time you can use these programmes
– if you use them for more than about 40 minutes,
you may have aching muscles later.
