	How Does TENS Work?
		TENS stimulators are recommended for a multitude of painful conditions; from skeletal pain (including low back whip lash, joint pains, muscle wastage, rheumatoid arthritis and phantom pains), women's dysmenorrhoea (a severe form of menstrual pain), endometriosis, and for Labor pain management.
		Using the Freemom TENS stimulator upon the commencement of contraction pains, the duration of the first stage of labor was found to be 'shorter' with a marked reduction in the level of contraction pain perceived by the expectant new mum.
		TENS units can be used for the treatment of, or adjunct to the management of period pain.

	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Tens System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The Tens System is the informal name for the most common grading scale used at educational institutions in the United States.
		The system owes its name to the fact that each passing grade spans ten points, except for the "A" grade, which encompasses eleven.
		Not all institutions make use of the "A+" grade; this is most likely to be true if the grade point average system is in force.

	A-F Grading System - K12 Academics
		Usually, the system employed does not make grading easier, since difficulty of exam questions will be calibrated to the grading system; indeed, exams in a school using the Tens System will often be more difficult than those in schools using the other systems.
		The Tens System is used in Canada but the A-F system (or in the case of Ontario, the 0-4 system) values are different from those of the United States.
		The percentage system is not used in primary schools, as all marks shown on tests, assignments and on the report card are shown with the A-F or 0-4 system depending on province.

	Eights System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Eights System is the informal name for one of the three most common grading scales used at educational institutions in the United States.
		The distribution is uneven because with the minimum passing standard of 70% the system observes, there are 31 possible passing numerical grades — from 70 through 100, all inclusive.
		As in other popular grading systems, a "+" or "−" modifier may be added to any of the letters (but customarily not to the "F") in order to draw a finer distinction.

	TENS
		TENS is the result of years of research and development in finding a method of ‘switching on’ the production of the body’s own endorphin supply - the body’s own pain relief system.
		TENS has now been shown to have its place in pain management and has given the user the ability to participate in his or her own treatment.
		The TENS stimulators are now used with the knowledge that the effectiveness is greatly enhanced through research by eminent physicians in the field of pain management and through the use of the latest integrated micro-electronics.

	ACS :: Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
		Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a method of pain relief in which a special device transmits low-voltage electrical impulses through electrodes on the skin to an area of the body that is in pain (see Electromagnetic Therapy).
		TENS is used widely by physical therapists and other medical practitioners but can also be performed at home by patients using a portable TENS system.
		A second review of 15 years of TENS research found some evidence to suggest that it is a useful addition to pain relief, although a number of the studies under review failed to show TENS was helpful in pain control.

	Toneatronic EMS; Getting Fit with electronic muscle stimulator has never been this easy!
		Modern TENS devices can effectively treat pain using a mixture of a high pulse rate stimulation used for a gating effect and an Encephalins release, with a low pulse rate used for an endorphin release.
		To achieve an optimised TENS application for the management of chronic pain, it should be used for periods of application from 40 minutes up to 'Around-the-Clock' periods, at below 20 pulse per second, applied to the regions of pain and ideally, one or more regions of maximum sensory feeling.
		TENS devices are applied at the low rate of body movements, which is at a pulse rate of less than seven pulses per second.

	Medisana® TENS Back Pain Personal Care Relief Products System - Best of The Sharper Image
		TENS electrodes are placed directly on the painful area and gentle electrical impulses are sent through the skin (transcutaneously) to nerve fibers that lie below.
		It is believed that TENS works via two mechanisms: electrical signals may close the "gates" through which pain signals travel to the brain; and TENS may activate the release of endorphins, the body's natural mechanism for suppressing pain.
		TENS is a gentle, noninvasive, non-addictive but very effective pain therapy — a wonderful painkiller with none of the side effects or concerns linked to drug medications.
