- you are in the first trimester of your pregnancy,
as the effects of TENS on the development of
the foetus are as yet unknown. Avoid use over
the uterus during pregnancy to reduce the risk of
inducing labour. If you are pregnant, always consult
your doctor or midwife before use.
- you have a cognitive impairment.
- you have venous or arterial thrombosis or
thrombophlebitis. If you use the device for EMS,
there is a risk of mobilising the blood clot.
- you have undiagnosed pain, unless your doctor
recommends use of this device.
Reactions
Stop using the device and consult your doctor if you
experience adverse reactions from the device.
Possible adverse reactions may include the following:
- skin irritation beneath the electrodes, although the
gel used on the electrodes is not known to cause
allergic reactions
- burns beneath the electrodes
- headaches or other painful sensations
- nausea or feeling faint
Side effects
- After EMS, some muscle soreness may occur
some time after the treatment.
- Some reddening of the skin under or around the
electrodes may occur during and shortly after
EMS treatment. Skin reddening usually disappears
within two hours after treatment. If the skin
continues to be red for more than a day,
please consult your doctor.
