What If My Condition Isn't Listed?
If we haven't listed your condition above, that doesn't mean you cannot use the TPN 200 Plus TENS Machine as a course of treatment. If you have any doubts or safety concerns about a health condition, we recommend contacting a qualified healthcare professional for advice before purchasing.
What is TENS Therapy and Can I Expect it to Work?
According to the NHS, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, or TENS therapy is a method of pain relief which is delivered through a mild electrical current. A TENS machine such as a TPN 200 is a small, battery-operated device that has leads that are connected to sticky pads called electrodes. These leads help to transport an electrical current from the device through the electrodes to your skin, where they reduce pain signals to your spinal cord and brain.
Leads attached to sticky pads administer an electrical current straight to the skin
This then helps to relieve pain and relax muscles while stimulating the production of endorphins, a natural painkiller. While the NHS stress that there needs to be further studies into TENS therapy, they acknowledge that it provides short-term pain relief and will readily recommend TENS treatment when necessary.
Is the TPN 200 for Me?
TENS therapy isn't major medical treatment and is as effective as treating minor pain associated with sports injuries as it is more intense pain associated with arthritis, back pain, labour pains and more. As a result we would recommend TENS for a long list of different types of pain, and as the TPN 200 Machine is easy to use, it is ideal for a wide range of different users.
If you are unsure of which level of TENS therapy you need, we would recommend contacting a doctor. The levels of therapy that the TENS Machine can offer will range between:
- Variable pulse rate: 2Hz - 150Hz
- Variable pulse width: 30us - 260us
- Selected modes: Modulation, constant, burst
How Do I Use the TPN 200 Machine?
Your TPN 200 is supplied with a free instruction manual, ensuring that you will know exactly what to do once your purchase has arrived. However, if you want to be prepared before it arrives, read our short user instructions here:
- Place the electrodes (sticky pads) on either side of the pain (they should be placed further than 2 to 3 cm of one another).
- Set the pulse rate to the required setting (100 Hz is recommended to start with), but adjust to your desired level.
- Switch the machine on and turn it up until you feel a strong (but not uncomfortable) tingling sensation.
- Turn the machine up slightly if you feel the tingling sensation lower slightly.
- For full effects, use the TPN 200 for between 45 minutes and 12 hours.
You can adjust the level of electrodes by using the simple, dual channel analogue controls that are on the front of the device. You can also choose between modulation, constant and burst, allowing you to select therapy that is catered to you.
Should I Ask for Advice Before Purchase?
It is always recommended that you speak to a doctor or health professional before use, however it isn't always necessary. In the following situations we would recommend speaking to a health professional first:
- When pregnant
- When suffering long-term chronic conditions
- If you are unsure of what level of pain relief you require

What Does the TPN 200 Feel Like to Use?
While using the TPN 200 Machine you can expect to feel a buzzing or tingling sensation surrounding the area that the patches have been placed. Increasing the intensity of the device will increase the intensity of the tingling, so it's recommended that you find a level that is strong, but not uncomfortable. After around 45 minutes of use you can expect to feel a significant level of pain relief.
