I-Tech MIO-IONOTENS Notice D'utilisation page 69

Intensity: to be adjusted until a tingling feeling is produced in the area treated;
avoid contracting the surrounding muscles.
TENS5 • Neck pain/Headache (medical program)
Specific program for the treatment of pain in the neck area. The first benefits
can be seen after 10 to 12 treatments carried out on a daily basis; proceed with
the treatment until the symptoms pass.
Session duration: 35 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo 25 of the Positions manual.
Intensity: to be adjusted to a level between the thresholds of perception and
pain: the maximum intensity level is the moment in which the muscles
surrounding the treated area begin to contract; over this limit the stimulation
does not become more effective, just more irritating, so it is best to stop before
that point.
WARNING: the device varies stimulation parameters during the
program. The current may be felt different: this is perfectly normal
and is envisaged by the software: raise or lower the intensity
according to your own sensitivity to reach a level of stimulation that is
comfortable for you.
TENS6 • Back/Sciatic pain (medical program)
Specific program for the treatment of pain in the lumbar area or along the
sciatic nerve, or both. The intensity should be adjusted to a level between the
thresholds of perception and pain: the maximum intensity level is the moment
in which the muscles surrounding the treated area begin to contract; over this
limit the stimulation does not become more effective, just more irritating, so it
is best to stop before that point. The first benefits can be seen after 15 to 20
treatments carried out daily; proceed with the treatment until the symptoms
pass.
Session duration: 40 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo 27 and 28 in the Positions manual.
Intensity: to be adjusted between the threshold of perception and pain.
TENS7 • Sprains/Bruises (medical program)
The program develops its effectiveness after this type of injury by inhibiting
pain locally, producing three selectively acting, differentiated impulses. Until
pain is lessened, the treatment is recommended daily (even 2/3 times a day).
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: form a square above the painful area as shown in
Figure1.
