TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is a medical device that, through electrical impulses, creates transcutaneous nerve stimulation whose effects are analgesic, thanks to the modulation/inhibition of pain perception and the release of neuropeptides, such as endorphins, which counteract feelings of fatigue and pain and enhance mood and physical and mental well-being.
TENS is therefore used in a variety of clinical settings to treat different conditions associated with acute and chronic pain.
TENS therapy is a non-invasive treatment with no known side effects.
Electrodes are applied to the patient's skin, through which a device sends mild impulses that activate nerve fibers.
The electrodes can be placed in various areas of the body; the frequency, intensity, and site of application depend on the specific condition and therapeutic goals.
The number of sessions varies based on the patient's needs, and each session can last between 20 and 40 minutes, with the possibility of being repeated multiple times a day.
