Page 4: Introduction
1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 General The Twin Stim Plus OTC is a portable electrotherapy device featuring two therapeutic modes: Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) and Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (EMS), which are used for pain relief and electrical muscle stimulation. The stimulator sends gentle electrical current to underlying nerves and muscle group via electrodes applied on the skin. - Page 5 How TENS Works There is nothing “magic” about Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). TENS is intended to help relieve pain. The TENS device sends comfortable impulses through the skin to stimulate the nerve (or nerves) in the treatment area. In many cases, this stimulation will greatly reduce or eliminate the pain sensation the patient feels.
