PRECAUTIONS
1. TENS is not effective for pain of central origin, including headache.
2. TENS is not a substitute for pain medications and other pain management therapies.
3. TENS devices have no curative value.
4. TENS is a symptomatic treatment and, as such, suppresses the sensation of pain that would otherwise
serve as a protective mechanism.
5. Effectiveness is highly dependent upon patient selection by a practitioner qualified in the management of
pain patients.
6. The long-term effects of electrical stimulation are unknown.
7. Since the effects of stimulation of the brain are unknown, stimulation should not be applied across your
head, and electrodes should not be placed on opposite sides of your head.
8. The safety of electrical stimulation during pregnancy has not been established, consult with your
physician.
9. You may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation or electrical
conductive medium (gel).
10. If you have suspected or diagnosed heart disease, you should follow precautions recommended by your
physician.
11. If you have suspected or diagnosed epilepsy, you should follow precautions recommended by your
physician.
12. Use caution if you have a tendency to bleed internally, such as following an injury or fracture.
13. Consult with your physician prior to using the device after a recent surgical procedure, because
stimulation may disrupt the healing process.
