Chapter 6: Using SENSUS During Sleep
Chronic pain often gets worse during the day, reaching its peak
at night. As a result, many people with chronic pain have difculty
falling asleep or maintaining high quality sleep throughout the
night. You may use SENSUS to provide overnight pain relief to
help you sleep better.
You may wear your SENSUS device at bedtime when you are
going to sleep and throughout the night. If you would like to have
the device automatically start therapy sessions throughout the
night then you should set it for continuous mode as described on
page 18. However, if you nd that the stimulation is waking you
up, you should use SENSUS in its single therapy session mode,
when falling asleep.
Make sure that your SENSUS device is securely and
comfortably placed around your leg before going to sleep.
Ventilate your skin after wearing SENSUS overnight.
If you have any questions regarding overnight use of SENSUS
call NeuroMetrix customer service at [phone].
Poor sleep can impact your health, safety, and quality of life.
Please discuss any concerns you have with your doctor.

The SENSUS Electrodes are designed to
operate consistently for at least 2 weeks
