Vendita TENS Elettrostimolatore GLOBUS Premium 400

How do TENS devices work?

In detail, a special electric generator to deliver painless impulses, which are perceived by the patient as a tingling sensation. A typical stimulator TENS is able to modulate the pulse amplitude, frequency and intensity. Generally, the electric current is applied at a high frequency (> 50 Hz), with a sensory intensity, or at a low frequency (< 10 Hz), with an intensity that produces motor contraction. The power unit is connected at skin level in the area to be treated by means of two or more electrodes, applied to the skin with reusable adhesive patches. The impulses make it possible to block or reduce pain signals reaching the spinal cord and brain, and can potentially relieve muscle spasms and other painful symptoms.

What are the benefits of TENS therapy?

The effects generated by the TENS can be summarised as follows:

• inhibition of nociceptive transmission
• release of endorphins
• modification of peripheral excitability resulting in an increased pain threshold

In which cases is TENS contraindicated?

If their doctor or physiotherapist has confirmed the possibility of using this treatment option, the patient must be aware that the TENS is well tolerated and safe. However, some patients cannot use this treatment option. When not one must use the TENS:

• if you do not know the cause of your pain or if the diagnosis of your condition has not yet been established
• in the case of pacemakers or other implanted electrical devices
• if you have epilepsy or a heart rhythm disorder
• if you have a serious skin condition

La TENS is also contraindicated in patients with malignant tumours (according to some in vitro experiments, electricity promotes cell growth), while it should be used with caution in pregnant women. Although several studies show that the TENS can be applied to relieve pain during labour, evidence on its safety is limited and the effects of electrical stimulation on the foetus are unknown. In some cases, increases in fetal heart rate and interference with fetal monitoring equipment have been reported. The safety of TENS has not yet been established in children.

What are the side effects of TENS?

The side effects most common involve the occurrence of some skin reactions, such as irritation and redness, found in about one third of people. There are isolated cases where various other side effects are reported, including loss of sensitivity, pain or unpleasant sensations (near or far from the application site), headache, muscle pain, nausea, agitation and dizziness. However, it is unclear whether the TENS is responsible for the occurrence of these problems.
