TENS
is an abbreviation of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation.
Transcutaneous means “across the skin”. In simple terms, a TENS unit stimulates your nerves via an electrical current through your skin.
The Premium TENS 3000 unit has advanced technology to provide fast, complete and safe pain relief in a compact, wearable design.
Its aides in the relief of all types of pain including chronic neck and back aches.
Wear it while doing chores, or other daily tasks. It saves you time and lets you work pain free. It goes where ever you go. It comes with its own carrying case making it completely portable.
It also includes everything you need to get started: self-adhesive reusable electrodes, lead wires and a 9-volt battery.
Condition: New/Never used
Features:
* Analog system that is more user-friendly
* Wearable
* Slim, modern design that makes it easy to conceal and wear
* Built-in belt clip
* Two pain relieving modes that makes finding your comfort level easy and foolproof
* Adjustable from 2 to 150 Hz, and 30 to 260 ms (it gives you a wider range of settings to treat your pain symptoms. Easily change the channel, pulse rate, pulse width and set the timer on this unit getting the right type of pain relief is now a much simpler process)
The TENS unit is powered by a 9-volt battery which produces pain relieving electrical pulses. Either two (single channel) or four (dual channel) self-adhesive electrodes are applied to the skin and attached to the TENS unit with lead wires.
Modified electrical pulses are then passed from the TENS unit, via the lead wires and electrodes, to the nerves which lie underneath the skin surface.  It works on the superficial and spinal nerves traversing to the brain.
TENS is a non-invasive tool to assist with pain relief.  Regular application of the TENs machine can result in reduced pain for up to 4 hours following use.  TENs are considered a pain relief tool and not considered curative. The degree of pain relief declines with prolonged use; variation of electrode placement may combat this.
Setting the Mode:
Three mode settings, Normal, Burst and Modulation.
1. Constant Stimulation at the frequency and pulse width setting.  Most commonly used or acute pain relief via a gating effect.
2. Modulation. The frequency varies between different settings and uses a cyclical to help reduce nerve adaptation. This is useful for acute and chronic pain relief.
3. Burst Mode is useful in chronic pain relief.  The unit will send through a burst of pain-relieving power.
Setting the Pulse Rate (Frequency):
Pulse Rate is the number of electrical pulses you will feel in one second.
Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz). Pain relief can occur at various frequencies. Acute pain is usually most effective between 80 and 120 Hz. Chronic pain can also benefit from lower settings 2 to 10Hz that stimulates an endorphin release. A setting between 35 and 50Hz is commonly used to stimulate muscles for strengthening or even relaxation.
The following settings are recommended:
Acute Pain: 80 to 120Hz
Muscle Stimulation: 35-50Hz
Chronic Pain: 2 to 10Hz
Setting the Pulse Width:
These are the ON periods of the current. Generally speaking, pain relief will occur with low to mid time periods. Muscle stimulation requires a longer pulse width to successfully reproduce a muscle contraction.
You can alter the time that each pulse lingers before resetting. The time period is extremely small. It’s measured in microseconds uS (1000th’s of a second). While you may not notice the difference, your nerves can.
The following setting is recommended:
175 to 200uS
You can strengthen the power of your machine by increasing the pulse width.
What Time Duration Should You Use a TENS Machine?
The following settings are recommended:
Acute pain:
20 to 60min up to four times daily
Chronic pain:
20 to 30min up to five times weekly
How Often Should You Use Your TENS Machine?
You can safely use a TENS machine as often as you like.  Usually for 30-60 minutes up to 4 times daily.
TENS can provide relief for up to four hours.
Application of Electrodes:
Positioning:
The electrodes are self-adhesive; discontinue treatment if the resident develops a skin irritation following treatment.
The electrodes are normally positioned over the area of pain but other more advanced applications may often prove better.  ***Please consult with physio for initial set up of electrode positioning.
Examples:
Central Neck Pain:
Position each set of electrodes on either side of the neck in the area of discomfort.
Shoulder Pain:
Position each set of electrodes above and below the pain site. Position one electrode pad on the neck on the same side as the painful shoulder and the other paired electrode on the painful area; position the other electrode in a similar way.
Knee Pain:
Position electrodes around the knee joint above and below on each side.
Lower Back:
Position electrodes on either side of the back at the level of pain. If pain is out to one side position one of the paired electrodes over the site of pain next to the spine and the corresponding electrode close to the spine at the same level; position second electrode near same position.
Where and when to not use TENS machines
TENS Electrodes should NEVER be placed:
* Across your eyes (intra-ocular pressure) or brain
* On the front of your neck due to the risk of acute hypotension (through a vasovagal reflex) or even a laryngospasm
* Through the chest (using a front and rear of chest wall electrode positions).
* Either side of your spinal column is permitted.
* Across an artificial cardiac pacemaker (or other indwelling stimulator, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), including across its leads) due to risk of interference and failure of the implanted device. Serious accidents have been recorded in cases when this principle was not observed.
* On open wounds or broken skin areas (although it can be placed around wounds).
* Over a malignant tumor (based on experiments where electricity promotes cell growth).
* Directly over the spinal column (although it can be placed either side of your spinal column).
* Internally, except for specific applications of dental, vaginal, and anal stimulation that employ specialized TENS units.
* Epilepsy patients
* On areas of numb skin/decreased sensation TENS should be used with caution because it’s likely less effective due to nerve damage. It may also cause skin irritation due to the inability to feel currents until they are too high.
* Areas of Infection. There’s an unknown level of risk when placing electrodes over an infection (possible spreading due to muscle contractions). Cross contamination with the electrodes themselves is of greater concern.
* Patients who are non-compliant or have dementia
