Pulses of Relief: TENS Unit Experience Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe using transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for pain. Writers describe what brought them to it — back pain, sciatica, endometriosis, labour, neuropathy, arthritis, post-surgical pain, or a physiotherapist's suggestion — and the first buzz, which almost everyone sets too high. There is the pad-placement learning curve that determines whether the device works at all: the trial and error, the settings, the frequencies, the electrodes that stopped sticking, and the guidance patients mostly had to find themselves. Writers describe the daily arrangement — wearing it at work, under clothes, at night — and report what it gave back with care, distinguishing pain reduced from pain distracted from. Later chapters cover use in labour and palliative care, physiotherapists' perspectives, contraindications, and the people for whom it was the wrong tool.

Who it's for

For anyone with a TENS unit that is not working, people considering one for chronic pain or labour, and clinicians recommending them without much follow-up.
