Adverse Reactions
Side effects of TENS therapy are generally mild,
even with extended use. The most common side-
effects include:
Muscle Soreness and Twitching
The constant pulsing of TENS therapy can cause
muscle soreness and twitching due to electrical
over-stimulation. This condition generally allevi-
ates by applying shorter treatment times or de-
creasing the frequency of daily therapy.
Skin Reddening and Soreness
Minor redness at the site of electrode placement is
a normal skin reaction. It is not considered as skin
irritation and normally disappears within 30 min-
utes after the electrode is removed. If the redness
does not resolve after 30 minutes, stop treatment
until any excessive redness has cleared.
If the skin under the electrode is irritated when
using long treatment times, decrease the length
of treatment. Cleansing the skin beneath the pad
with alcohol and applying ultrasonic gel will in-
crease the conductivity of the electrodes and may
protect the skin from irritation.
If any effects are especially bothersome, consult
your doctor.
