Helpful Tips Once you have familiarised yourself with the controls and features of your TENS device, it is important to place the TENS electrodes in a position which gives the most pain relief. This may take 3 or 4 attempts to find the most suitable position, for maximum pain relief. If you are using two electrodes, place the electrodes directly onto the painful area at a position where you feel the pain starts and where it finishes.
