Preset programs
Program overview
The device comes standard with 8 preset programs
(PR3093) or 15 preset programs (PR3094). There
are three different TENS types: Conventional TENS,
Burst TENS and Frequency-modulated TENS. For
more details, see below.
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 cause the transmission of pain
signals in the nervous system to be blocked. 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 you
feel comfortable with. The effect is usually most
perceptible during stimulation. The effect generally
wears off rather quickly when stimulation has ended.
You should adjust the intensity of the program so that
you clearly feel the stimulation. Stimulations should
not give an unpleasant or painful sensation, however.
