CATEGORY PAIN RELIEF
PROGRAM BURST
WHEN?
The Burst programme is an type of endorphinic programme, which has a less
pronounced vascular eect than endorphinic. It may be used in the same way to relieve
pain following a chronic contracture.
WHY?
To relieve chronic muscle pain.
HOW?
The Burst mode involves replacing the emission of an isolated electric pulse by an
emission of a very short burst of 8 pulses. In this way, the Burst programme emits 2
burst per second, which can produce the same endorphinic results as for a standard
frequency of 2 Hz.
PULSE WIDTH
The pulse width for the programme is 180 s.
ELECTRODES
Electrodes must be placed after a thorough palpatory examination to locate the most
painful point, where a small electrode preferably connected to the positive pole of the
cable will be placed. The other electrode is placed at the end of muscle or muscle group
being stimulated.
INTENSITY
An essential factor in the therapeutic ecacy is to cause visible muscle twitching,
which may, in certain cases, require higher stimulation energies to be used.
