Program overview

Conventional TENS programs

Conventional TENS is a common TENS program

with high-frequency stimulation. It is based on the

Gate Control Theory that states that this type of

stimulation will block transmission of pain signals in

the nervous system. It is comparable to ‘rubbing the

pain away’. Most people use Conventional TENS

for 30 minutes per session, but you can use it as

often and as long as it feels comfortable. The effect

is usually most perceptible during stimulation and

generally wears off rather quickly after stimulation.

You have to adjust the intensity of the program so

that you clearly feel the stimulation. Stimulations

must not feel unpleasant or painful.
