Direct TENS
™
Program Stimulation Frequency
(Hz)
General
Indications
Advantages
8 Random modulation of
intensity and frequency
(down to 50% of set intensity
and frequency modulation
between 8 dierent
frequencies, 2-150 Hz)
Random
modulation
Chronic pain
resisting therapy
Avoids habituation
Sensory as well as
motor stimulation
9 Continuous 2 – 150 Standard TENS Fast pain relief in acute
pain conditions
Fast acceptance of therapy
Dierent programmable
frequencies, e.g.
100 Hz = Standard
2 Hz = Similar to
acupuncture
10 Burst with alternating work
and rest phases of 2 seconds
each
Work =
2 - 150 Hz
Rest = 0 Hz
Long-term
treatment
Classic burst
Pleasant form of
stimulation
Reduces muscle fatigue
Prolongs battery life
11 Mixed frequency Phase 1 =
2 - 150 Hz
Phase 2 = 50%
of work freq
Strong pain Pleasant stimulation also
at higher intensities
Permanent stimulation of
the deep aerent nerve
fibers with modulated
muscle activation
12 Multi modulation 2 – 150 Chronic pain Avoids habituation
Simultaneous sensory and
motor stimulation
Fixed modulation pattern
for intensity and
frequency
13 Simple modulated pulse
(SMP), intensity modulation
diametrically opposite to
frequency modulation
according to a fixed
12-second cycle
2 – 150 Chronic pain Avoids habituation
Simultaneous sensory and
motor stimulation
Intensity and frequency
modulation according
to fixed pattern, but
diametrically opposed, i.e.,
when the intensity
increases, the frequency
decreases and vice versa.
