TENS pad placement for tension headaches

How a TENS machine can help you with tension headaches
If sufferers have tension headaches, they usually complain of pain that wraps around the head like a band. This type of headache can be classified as episodic or chronic. Episodic headaches last less than 15 days a month. The pain often starts a few hours after waking up and gets worse during the day. Chronic headaches last at least 15 days a month and are present regardless of the time of day. You can relieve the pain with TENS pain therapy. In this process, the electrical impulses of the TENS machine do not transmit the pain stimulus to the brain.
The correct use of TENS for tension headaches
Tension headaches often come from the neck area. For pain treatment with a TENS machine, you can attach the pad as shown in the picture. We recommend the pad round Ø 3.2 cm.
The advantages of TENS treatment
Please note
The current strength should be set so that it is felt as a pleasant tingling sensation. The duration of the application should be approx. 40 minutes in order to be able to achieve a lasting reduction in pain. It is also useful to change the programs every now and then.
