In general, TENS can be used to treat both chronic and acute
pain, e.g. in the case of sprains and dislocations that are usually
accompanied by bruising. However, a careful examination is ne-
cessary first, to establish whether the joint may be damaged.

(P01, P03, P09)

mode (pulse groups are "fired off").
