TENS10 • Hand and wrist pain (medical program)
This program is suitable for all types of hand and wrist pain: aching caused by
strains, arthritis in the hand, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc. A combination of
various types of square-wave impulses has a general analgesic effect on the
area to be treated, in fact impulses at different frequencies stimulate
different sized nerve fibres promoting an inhibitory action at spinal level.
Session duration: 40 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: form a square above the area to be treated as shown
in Figure 1.
Intensity: to be adjusted between the threshold of perception and pain,
without causing muscle contraction.

This program has a relaxing and draining effect on the stimulated limb. It is
ideal for people suffering from a sense of "heaviness in the legs".
Session duration: 40 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: 2 electrodes on the sole of the foot (one positive, the
other negative), one close to the toes and the other under the heel.
Intensity: just a little bit over the perception threshold.
TENS12 • Epicondylitis (medical program)
Also known as "tennis elbow", it is an insertional tendinopathy concerning
insertion of the elbow bone into the epicondylar muscles, those enabling
finger and wrist extension (bending backwards).
It is recommended 15 applications once a day (even twice), until the
symptoms pass. First it is recommended that you consult your doctor to
identify the precise cause of the pain in order to prevent the condition from
reoccurring.
