7.1. PRESET PROGRAMMES

There is not one programme for a
particular condition, and the best choice
varies from one person to another, even
if they have the same type of pain.
Each user needs to select both the
programme and the positioning of the
electrode pads that is best for them.
You may need
positions/programmes before finding
the one that suits you.
If you are using TENS for the first time,
it is recommended that you start with
programme A, which gives the gentlest
stimulation.
The perfect TENS has 8 preset pain
relief programmes.
P=Pain Gate. Gives relief when being
used. Wears off after a few hours.
E= Endorphin Release. Builds up over
40 mins. Lasts several hours after use.

post herpetic neuralgia, migraine).
