Treatment Types

The device is multifunctional, offering several modes of electrical treatment, each applicable to different problems.

TENS

TENS, i.e., transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, is mainly for relieving musculoskeletal pain. It can also be used for menstrual pain and to a lesser extent, cancer pain relief.

EMS or NMES

Electrical muscle stimulation is referred to as EMS or NMES in medical practice. It's used for muscle-related issues such as muscle stiffness, atrophy, slowing strength and mass loss, improving circulation, and reducing muscle pain. It's beneficial before musculoskeletal surgeries to improve outcomes and indispensable during rehabilitation.

FES

FES, or functional electrical stimulation, is usually noted as a standalone treatment mode. It's also muscle stimulation performed to regain some lost abilities.

After central paralysis, muscles partly regain mobility after a few days (if fortunate) but become weak and clumsy. Muscle stimulation to regain strength and relearn movement is functional stimulation.

MENS or MCR

Microcurrent is an extremely mild current (for example, TENS or muscle stimulation currents are a thousand times stronger).

Microcurrent can be used for pain relief (then called MENS—microcurrent nerve stimulation) or healing (then called MCR).

Microcurrent accelerates healing of inflammatory processes (including tendinitis, arthritis, arthrosis, etc.). It reduces edema, making it useful in acute treatment of herniated discs, lumbago, sciatica, and other radicular symptoms. It speeds injury, wound, and muscle tear healing.

Microcurrent stimulates collagen production and thus wound and scar healing, useful in beauty care for restoring skin elasticity and wrinkle treatment.

Iontophoresis

Iontophoresis is beneficial for treating joint inflammation and sports injuries. It enables delivering a (water-soluble, electrically charged) drug directly through the skin to the affected area, avoiding the digestive system. For example, after an ankle injury, oral drugs spread throughout the body with minimal amounts reaching the ankle. Iontophoresis helps direct a higher dose to the ankle and less to other parts.

Useful Features

Feature	Details
	LAST 10 feature: The device stores the 10 most recently executed programs. They can be quickly and easily selected and started from the list.
	AUTO STIM feature Allows automatic execution of a program without adjusting intensity. Intensity is set based on the last use of the program. AUTO STIM is only for TENS and EMS programs stored in the "Last 10" memory.
	Run Time feature Allows modification of main parameters like treatment time, frequency, pulse duration during a running program after pressing the Function button.
	Favorite programs Enables saving up to 15 most used programs in memory per user for quick start.
	STIM LOCK feature Locks programs saved in the Treatment menu. Important for loaning devices to patients who should run only therapist-locked programs (others disabled).
	Create your own program Allows creating and modifying up to 15 new programs, making the device highly flexible and customizable.
	2+2 mode Allows simultaneous execution of two different programs (EMS or TENS). Two patients or muscle groups can be treated together. Programming is separable for channels 1-2 and 3-4.
	Multiuser Allows device use by multiple users with personalized settings. Accessing Favorites and Last10 requires logging into personal profiles. Up to 10 treatment plans can be set up.

Contraindications of Electric Treatments

Electrotherapy treatments (TENS, EMS, MENS, FES, ETS, CES, microcurrent, iontophoresis, denervated, selective currents, Kotz, interferential, etc.) are safe and side-effect free treatment methods.

Only a few conditions are contraindications.

Current consensus: Electrotherapy treatments are STRICTLY PROHIBITED for patients with pacemakers or implanted defibrillators. Other conditions are not exclusionary but require benefits vs. risks consideration by the attending physician.

It's a common belief that electrotherapy devices should not be used with metal implants, prosthesis, bone plates, screws. This is outdated. Read Dr. Zsolt Zátrok’s article about implants and electrotherapy.
