Here are some sites I awhile ago, they seemed to have good info about the various electrical stimulation type of machines , how they work, and what conditions they might help.
the first link explains the varous types - TENS, IF, EMS, etc. Electro therapy TENS/EMS/IF stimulator info http://www.vitality-web.com/backstor...Stimulator.htm http://www.medi-stim.com/overview.htm http://www.rehabpub.com/features/82004/3.asp http://www.spine-health.com/topics/c...ctro/el01.html http://www.skylarkdevice.com/web-site/ele_thera.htm http://www.bmls.com/electrodes/epc.php http://rehabilicare.com/protocol.html

When i first got PN my pain was 10 all the time. I went to a Chiro. who had a machine with 400 volts. At first i could not feel 400 volts. After 5 treatments i had to turn it down each time. 43 treatments later i could only stand 15 volts. I bought a TENS unit. The 9 volt Tens unit changes the nerve signal to the brain of the pain and the pain is less. This Tens and 1- 30 mg. of morphine is all i take for pain. They keep the pain down so i can cure my self with vitamins. I have been doing this for about 8 years. My pain now is 1& 2.

A pain specialist sold me my tens unit, telling me that Medicare would pay for it. It felt good in the office, a little less good while driving home, and barely at all after that. I kept trying it for a reasonable time, then put it away. Medicare did not pay. The company kept calling me, and I referred them to the pain doctor who didn't do anything to help but talk me into the unit. They wanted over 500 dollars for it. They still do. That was about ten years ago. They've evidently gone down since I got mine. You all are the first people I've heard of who have received relief from them. Do you know if they've changed in the interim? I'd really like to know.
