modulation mode, the machine delivers a less
regular pattern of TENS stimulation in an
attempt to reduce
accommodation effects of regular, patterned
stimulation. This is potentially most useful for
patients who use TENS for several hours a day,
if for no other reason than accommodation
occurs at a slower rate and therefore less
intensity adjustment may be required. See
programmes F and G.

HAN Stimulation
•
Invented by Professor Han, it is an alternating
mode or shifting between high and low
frequencies; stimulation works at a high
frequency and a relatively low pulse width; and
a low frequency and a relatively high pulse
width. This is thought to produce a better
analgesic effect and could be used to relieve
both acute and chronic pain.
