SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS
Neuralgia of the upper limb (brachial neuralgia)
Some people suffer from arthritis in the joints of the vertebrae at the back of the neck, or from arthritis or periarthritis of the
shoulder. These situations often give rise to pain that runs down one arm and is known as "brachial neuralgia". These arm
pains that start in the shoulder or the back of the neck can be reduced with the Compex Modulated TENS programme by
following the practical recommendations outlined below.
Cycle duration: 1 week, 1 x/day minimum, then adapt according to how the pain develops
According to requirements, the Modulated TENS programme can be repeated a number
of times during the same day
Programme: Modulated TENS 35◊
Chronic muscular pain (polymyalgia)
Some people suffer from muscular pain that affects several muscles or parts of different muscles at the same time. The
localization of this chronic pain can vary over time. These continual and diffuse muscle pains are the result of chronic
contractures in which acids and toxins accumulate, irritating the nerves and causing pain. The Endorphinic programme
is particularly effective against such pain since, in addition to its pain-reducing effect, it increases the blood flow to the
contractured muscular groups and removes from them accumulations of acids and toxins. Example: localized pain in the
biceps. However, the pain may affect other muscular groups. The practical application illustrated below remains valid, but it
is then necessary to place the electrodes on the muscular group concerned.
Cycle duration: 4 weeks, 2 x/day, with a 10 minute break between the 2 sessions
You are advised to consult your doctor if no improvement is observed after the first week of
use
Programme: Endorphinic 20◊
