A TENS unit is a battery-powered device with electrodes that deliver electrical impulses through the surface of your skin. A provider places the electrodes at or near trigger points (muscle knots) or affected nerves. Many healthcare providers offer TENS therapy in clinic or hospital settings.
A typical battery-operated TENS unit is able to modulate pulse width, frequency, and intensity. Generally, TENS is applied at high frequency (>50 Hz) with an intensity below motor contraction (sensory intensity) or low frequency (<10 Hz) with an intensity that produces motor contraction.
A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) sends electrical pulses through the skin to start your body’s own pain killers. The electrical pulses can release endorphins and other substances to stop pain signals in the brain. TENS can reduce pain.
[transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation] : electrical stimulation of the skin to relieve pain by interfering with the neural transmission of signals from underlying pain receptors. 2. [transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator] : a device used for TENS.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a therapeutic modality employing electric current to relieve pain by activating peripheral nerves.
Traditional TENS: high frequency (80–150 Hz), short pulses and intensity is often described as “Strong but comfortable”. Acupunture TENS: lower frequency (1–5 Hz) with longer pulses (200–250 μs), and the intensity be greater than traditional TENS resulting in strong sensation.
There are different types of TENS including standard TENS, acupuncture-like TENS and intense TENS. In general, conventional TENS is used in the first instance. The mechanism of TENS is to stimulate nerves and/or muscles under the electrodes. This then triggers a cascade of response leading to pain relief.
