What is TENS used for? 

A TENS may be used to help with many types of chronic (long-term) pain, such as: 

  • Arthritis or other joint pain 
  • Back and neck pain 
  • Fibromyalgia 
  • Muscle pain 
  • Neuropathic pain 

When is it best to use TENS? 

Research has shown that TENS is most helpful for chronic pain when used for at least 30 minutes while you are active. It is less effective when you are sitting still, lying down, or resting. 

Do not use TENS if you have: 

  • A cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator 
  • Spinal cord stimulator 
  • In-dwelling pumps or monitors 
  • Any implanted metallic or electronic device 

Talk with your health care provider if you have:

  • Cancer 
  • Diabetes 
  • Cognitive impairment 
  • Epilepsy 
  • Or are pregnant 

People who are allergic to nickel and/or adhesives may have skin irritation with TENS.
