Pain relief with the EM 26 stimulation device
How does electrical muscle stimulation work?
The TENS device works on the basis of electrical nerve
stimulation (TENS). TENS, or transcutaneous electrical
nerve stimulation, relates to the electrical stimulation of the
nerves through the skin. TENS is an effective non-phar-
macological method of treating different types of pain that
have a variety of causes. It has no side-effects if adminis-
tered correctly. The method has been clinically tested and
approved and can be used for simple self-treatment. The
pain-relieving or pain-suppressing effect is achieved by in-
hibiting the transfer of pain to nerve fibres (caused mainly
by high-frequency pulses) and by increasing the secretion
of endorphins in the body. Their effect on the central nerv-
ous system reduces the sensation of pain. This method is
clinically tested and approved. Any symptoms that could
be relieved using TENS must be checked by your GP. Your
GP will also give you instructions on how to carry out a
TENS self-treatment regime.
