TENS Electrode Pads FAQ
Q: What are TENS Machine pads?
A: Electrodes are attached directly to the skin. When the machine is turned on, these pads will deliver small electrical impulses that you experience as a tingling sensation. The electrical impulses can reduce the feelings of pain going to the spinal cord and brain. The electrodes themselves are small, flat, bandage-like pads that are attached to the skin with tape, or with an existing adhesive gel on the inside. Pads are most commonly shaped like a square or rectangle and, when used properly, they can be reused for up to 20-30 treatments. Other things to consider when using TENS machine pads include:
- Make sure the machine is turned off before attaching electrodes to your skin.
- They should only be applied to clean and dry skin where there are no cuts, grazes, or irritation. Wash your skin after removing the pads at the end of each treatment.
- If the skin is irritated you may need to consider using a different type of pad, such as silicone rubber pads.
Q:How long will the electrode pads last?
A:The electrodes on TENS units can be identified as sticky pads that attach to the skin. These pads are generally reusable for up to 20-30 times if used correctly as directed in our blog. However, this will depend on several factors, such as:
- Duration of the treatment. Longer treatments will wear out the electrodes quicker.
- Regularly switching between each pair of electrodes between each day of use. This will provide the first set about 24 hours to completely dry, which will expand the usage time.
- Regular cleaning of the electrodes helps prevent debris and the buildup of dirt.
- Whether you have a lot of body hair, we recommend shaving areas that need to be treated or keeping it on bare skin.
Q:Where do you put TENS machine pads?
A: It’s important to consider that the TENS pads placementhas the potential impact on the effectiveness of your treatment. Most TENs machines have two channels that connect to a pair of sticky machine pads. The device can then deliver the treatment to the affected area after proper TENS electrode placement onto the skin.
For specific areas of pain, most therapists will use one channel (or one pair of pads) around either side of the pain (Watson, 2018). The painful region should be in between the two pads. However, there are also alternative TENs machine electrode placements that may also be effective. Before use, please advise a healthcare practitioner, such as a physiotherapist or osteopath, about these pads’ proper usage. These alternative placements include (Neto et al., 2017):
- On the opposite side of your pain (e.g. left knee for right knee pain)
- Over the areas of the spine where the nerves connect to the painful region
- Neighbouring regions where the nerves are related the sore spot (i.e. myotome and dermatome patterns)
- Related acupressure points
For more widespread or vague areas of pain, two channels can be used. Place each pair of your pads diagonally across each around the treatment area. Additionally, a combination of alternative TENS placements can be used (Watson, 2018). However, please advise a qualified health professional before using.
