SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
INDICATIONS, CONTRAINDICATIONS, AND ADVERSE EFFECTS FOR ELECTROTHERAPY (CONTINUED)
•
Some patients may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity
due to the electrical stimulation or electrical conductive
medium. The irritation can usually be reduced by using an
alternative conductive medium or an alternative electrode
placement.
•
Electrode placement and stimulation settings should be based
on the guidance of the prescribing practitioner.
•
Powered muscle stimulators should be used only with the
lead wires and electrodes recommended for use by the
manufacturer.
•
With waveforms, isolated cases of skin irritation may occur
at the site of electrode placement following long-term
application.
•
The effectiveness of waveforms is highly dependent upon
patient selection by a person qualified in the management of
pain patients.

Adverse Effects

•
Skin irritation and burns beneath the electrodes have been
