If you’ve read a TENS unit manual, you’ve probably seen a warning about not placing the electrodes on your head or face. Yet, some studies show that TENS can help with headache and facial pain when used correctly.
So why the caution, and how can you safely use TENS for headache relief?
In this video, I explain why TENS unit manuals often warn against head and face use. These warnings are there to protect untrained users from potential risks associated with improper electrode placement, particularly near sensitive areas like the eyes or neck. Companies also include these guidelines to minimize liability and ensure safety outside of controlled clinical settings.
However, research shows that TENS can be helpful for managing headache disorders when used under the right conditions. I’ll cover essential precautions, such as consulting your healthcare provider, and avoiding placements near the eyes or inside the mouth.
I’ll also share additional safety guidelines for those with pacemakers, seizure disorders, or skin sensitivities.
Remember, this video is for educational purposes only—always seek advice from your healthcare provider before starting TENS therapy.
