How does Impulse 3000T work?
- TENS works as an “Electronic Aspirin”.
- TENS sends small electrical impulses through adhesive electrodes that are adhered to your body at the point of pain.
- These small electrical impulses, like aspirin, trick your brain to look past the pain.
- TENS is not a cure for your pain condition, but it will help you manage your pain without the use of drugs and get back to living life.
- Chronic pain sufferers (3 months or more)
- Acute Pain sufferers (less than 3 months)
- Postsurgical and post-traumatic pain.
- It can be used 24 hours a day or as needed.

- Contraindications:
TENS devices can adversely affect the operation of demand-type cardiac pacemakers. TENS is not recommended for patients with known heart disease without a physician’s evaluation of risk. Do not stimulate the eyes or carotid sinus nerves. Do not apply TENS for undiagnosed pain syndromes until the etiology is established. Do not place electrodes in a manner that causes current to flow transcerebrally (through the head).
- Warnings:
- This device should be used only under the continued supervision of a physician, or outside the USA, by a qualified pain management specialist. TENS is ineffective for pain of central origin, (i.e. appendicitis, hepatitis). TENS is of no curative value, it is a symptomatic treatment that suppresses pain sensation which would otherwise serve as a protective mechanism on the outcome of the clinical process. The safety of TENS devices for use during pregnancy or delivery has not been established.
- Electronic equipment such as ECG monitors and ECG alarms may not operate properly when TENS is in use. The user must keep the device out of the reach of children. TENS is for external use only.
- Precautions:
- Avoid adjusting controls while operating machinery or vehicles
- Turn the stimulator off before applying or removing electrodes
- Isolated cases of skin irritation may occur at the site of electrode placement following long-term application
- Use only for the specific pain problem as prescribed by the physician, or outside the USA, by a qualified pain management specialist
- Effectiveness is dependent upon patient selection by a qualified pain specialist
