Introduction Research
suggest that upto 70% of the "pain" victims get relief by using; TENS
unit - if you can afford one! Our advanced TENS unit has the additional facility
of variable frequency and pulse width-control and it will still cost a lot less
than similar units. The TENS stands for ranscutaneousElectricalneuraltimulation"This
a technique employed for pain relief . These are widely used in public and private
health service as an alternative to drugs for the treatment of pain .previous
such units work at a constant frequency and pulse width. In our advanced unit
,we provide facility for varying frequency and pulse width. There is also a provision
for controlling the amplitude of the pulses. The
TENS unit stimulates major and deeper nerve bundles ,thus closing the appropriate
pain gates, without itself causing any pain or damage. The pain gates commonly
known as the transmission gates in the nervous system get opened by signals from
major nerve fibre bundles. As the unit close, These transmission gates the pain
would not be felt. Abstract In
use, the electrodes are usually placed above or to either side of the source of
pain 1.Should
never be used by anyone with a heart pacemaker. 2.Should never be used with
the electrodes placed in such ,manner, so current passes through the head or across
the heart. 3.Should never be used with electrodes placed on the front of the
may interfere with important nerve centers around the carotid sinus area. Normally
around a frequency of 90 Hz and a pulse width of about half scale,people get relief
from pain without any unpleasant tingling sensation .Treatment should normally
last twenty to thirty minutes, although longer sessions are acceptable if the
need is felt for them . Pulsed operation may be preferable for longer sessions
.` Other settings may then be tried to discover those especially suited to user.
Some people find low frequency settings particularly beneficial .At setting, narrow
pulse width may be found more comfortable with no loss of effect.
