Description
1
Standard Acute nociceptive pain, acute and chronic neuropathic pain For novice users 30
100 200 Both channels are operated with the same frequency and pulse width.
2
Standard (weak-
ened)
Like Novice 1, just a little gentler For novice users 30
80 150 Both channels are operated with the same frequency and pulse width.
3
Intensive Introductory programme for permanent, severe pain For advanced users 30
2 250 Both channels are operated with the same frequency and pulse width.
4
Standard +
Intensive (var. 1)
Special pain therapy via special contact points, instructions for
self-application required from therapist
For advanced users 30
Channel 1:
100
Channel 2: 2
200 Channel 1 operates at 100 Hz and 200 µs. Channel 2 operates at 2 Hz and 200 µs.
5
Standard +
Intensive (var. 2)
Alternative to Standard + Intensive 1 For advanced users 30
100/2 150/200 Phase 1: Both channels operate for 10 min at 100 Hz and 150 µs. Phase 2: Both channels operate
for 20 min at 2 Hz and 200 µs. Phase 1 switches automatically to phase 2 If the therapy time is
changed, the times of phase 1 and 2 change in the ratio 2/8 to 5/8.
6
Special
(according to
Han)
Good alternative for therapy resistance For advanced users 30
100/2 150/200 Channel 1 and channel 2 operate for 3 s at 100 Hz (150 µs) and 3 s at 2 Hz (200 µs), continuously
alternating.
7
Intensive
(weakened)
Gentle introductory programme for permanent, severe pain For advanced users 30
100 150 Pulse packs (bursts) at 100 Hz (150 µs) are emitted for 0.25 seconds. The pause time between the
pulse packs is 0.25 s.
8
Modulation Anti-habituation programme For advanced users 30
2–80 100–200 The frequency changes continuously between 2 and 80 Hz within 7.5 s.
9 Muscle
Muscle stimu-
lation 1
Introductory programme before and immediately after
operations, preparation for procedures, building up basic
musculature
Special muscle
stimulation
30
50 250 Trapezoidal pulse with 50 Hz frequency and 250 µs pulse width and 2 s increase, 5 s working time,
1 s decrease and 12 s rest. The intensity changes continuously according to the parameters.
10 Muscle
Massage 1 Novice programme for muscle massage for relaxation Special muscle
stimulation
30
80 150 The intensity increases to its maximum within 1 s and decreases to 50% within 1 s. The intensity
changes continuously according to the specied parameters, with the two channels alternating
with each other (massage).
11 Muscle
Massage 2 Advanced programme for muscle massage for relaxation Special muscle
stimulation
30
80 150 The intensity increases to its maximum within 0.25 s and decreases to 50% within 0.25 s. The
intensity changes continuously according to the specied parameters, with the two channels
alternating with each other (massage).
12
Deep TENS Pain in deeper layers of muscle For advanced users 30
100 75 P12 works like P1. However, instead of one pulse, there are four short pulses at 100 Hz
