TENS machines

We are looking at changing the way in which we provide TENS machines to our patients. Nidd Valley provide a "TENS bank" service.
Has anyone used this service?
If so, are you happy with the arrangement?

Thanks,
Kathy

When I did some work at the Royal United Hospital (Bath) a while back they had a TENS loan/purchase scheme (not sure if it was Nidd though)

Re: TENS machines

You beat me to it Susie, I was just about to post the following quote from the RUH website:


TENS
The Bath Pain Clinic provides a TENS clinic. TENS machines are battery operated devices, about the size of a pack of playing cards. They deliver a tingling sensation via two or four pads, which stick to the skin over or near the site of pain. This sensation is believed to work via the Pain Gate, meaning that it over-rides other, more noxious and painful, sensations. It can be worn all day. Rechargeable batteries are recommended.



Patients are invited to try a TENS machine on loan initially. If they get benefit from it and wish to keep it, they need only send a cheque to the manufacturers.



The Pain Clinic in Bath provides two appointments for patients, which covers the initial visit and instruction on the machine as well as a follow-up appointment to help with any problems that might arise. .
