Which Programme Should I Use; How High Should I Turn The Intensity - Tens EV-806P Quick User Manual

We always recommend you start with programme 3, as already mentioned in your
step-by-step guide. The premier TENS has 12 programmes P1 to P12, Each
programme has been shown to reduce and block pain in a wide range of
conditions. It is very difficult to know which programme is best for you. It is
therefore recommended that over a period of time you try all 12 programmes. To
help get you started, we have included some common conditions with suggested
electrode placements including treatment times and recommended programmes
you may wish to try.
Everybody reacts differently to TENS Stimulation so it is important that you
increase the intensity (sensation feeling) to the correct level.
Increase the intensity to a sensation which is comfortable and always perceptible; 21
never turn up to a level which is strong and uncomfortable.
You may use TENS if required for long periods of time to combat long term chronic
pain, however, please remember to place the electrodes in slightly different areas
around the painful site, as this will help reduce skin irritation.

WHICH PROGRAMME SHOULD I USE?

The most up to date research in TENS treatment times, indicates that a minimum
of 1 hour to 1 / hours is required for effective pain relief. Your TENS may be used
for much longer periods and you may find treatment times of 3 to 4 hours may
work best for you.
Please remember that the intensity level is always kept at a pleasant sensation,
never increase the intensity to uncomfortable levels as this can possibly have a
2
detrimental effect on your results.
