Performance Health TPN 200 Plus Dual Channel TENS Machine – Portable EMS Pain Relief Device for Back Pain, Sciatica, Labour and Period Cramps – Electrodes Included – Battery Operated

Works really well & great to be able to set it to a comfortable setting that suits you

I've had this machine for a number of months now, and didn't want to review this until I had the chance to use it for a while. I saw a number of options for TENS machines when I was looking to purchase, and they started off cheap and went very high. This is my first foray into the TENS world and so I thought I'd start off with something a little simple, not too expensive in case it didn't work, and if it did work I could always experiment with other models later. This model has served me well, it comes with a nice carry case, some sticky pads which conduct the electricity, and the wires required to operate it. It also comes with a handy picture chart for placement of the pads depending on the location of the pain. I do believe that there could have been a little bit more of a comprehensive chart with recommended settings, it is all a bit complicated and a bit of Googling and Youtubing is needed in order to get the most out of the machine. Everybody is different and personal preference does have a part to play in this, but some basic settings to start with would be a good idea rather than being thrown into the deep end. That is my only criticism of this machine. It works extremely well for both acute and chronic pain, and the purpose this was bought for was to treat the effects of chronic pain from rheumatoid arthritis. Using this daily has made a lot of difference to the feeling of pain and has allowed the use of pharmaceuticals to be reduced significantly which is always a good thing. If this doesn't seem to be working for you, I'd say persevere first and foremost and look into what settings work for you, maybe some will be absolutely useless and others will work wonders. Here's a quick list to save you Googling like I did: Set the frequency to: 80 to 120Hz- acute pain, 35-50Hz-muscle stimulation, 2 to 10Hz – chronic pain Set the pulse width to between 175-200 Placement is important - you've got 2 channels and 4 pads - so 2 pads on each channel. Do check out youtube videos and pictures online to have a look at appropriate placement depending on areas of pain. My main advice would be first and foremost this is all you need to start with, and secondly to keep experimenting and trying. The science behind this is there and although there's nothing in this world that works for everybody, I do believe with enough experimenting and tinkering, you can find relief from various different types of pain with this machine, it is definitely worth a try.

This item is supposed to come with a flip top cover, IT HAS NOT COME WITH ONE, please send one. The machine is working fine at present however I will update in a week or two to let you know how it’s doing, it’s a bit expensive for a battery operated one, I thought it was a rechargeable one. However we’ll see how it goes.

Great 👍

My partners suffers from a lot of back pain. We brought this item for her to help with pain relief. She has used it when her pain hurts the most and she is happy that it helps relieve some of the pain. It was easy to set up and use by following the instructions included. She has had the item for a few months now and she has used it many times and is very happy with the purchase. We feel the item was good for the money and made of good quality and easy to use. It is small and light enough to carry around with you, so can be used on the move

She I first got this item it was great but not had had it long ( and only use if outside walking ) and it’s stopped working so I’m presuming it’s the battery so I will have to buy a new and try it, fingers crossed that’s all it is.

I have used many tens machines over a period of 40 years. Ones that do not have leads, ones that have time management and strength control. I have tried them all! This is the third time I have bought this tens machine and I will not be trying any more! This is the best I have found over the years! Thinking others may be better tried them! They are sat in my drawer. If you are looking for a tens machine which does not have time controls which are not essential. This machine I highly recommend. You can even leave it on for long periods and the battery has a good life.

Straightforward to use however there are no recommended settings for different medical issues so you just have to tinker. The machine does work on my bad back and hips but unfortunately I've had to return my first one a couple of the electrodes sometimes don't work,I've tried the different in puts on the top and sometimes they work and other times don't. I've just received a replacement so hope this won't suffer from the same problem

Nach vielen Bandscheibenvorfällen im Lendenwirbel und Nackenwirbelbereich, vielen Ischiasschmerzen (Hexenschüssen) und öfters auftretenden Muskelkrämpfen bin ich schon vor Jahrzehnten auf die Tensgeräte aufmerksam geworden. Das TPN 200 ist mittlerweile das 8 Gerät das ich teste. Positiv gefällt mir: - Klein und Leicht! Es lässt sich problemlos in die Hosen- oder Jackentasche stecken - Dauerbetrieb! Es schaltet sich nicht alle 10 oder 20 min aus, sondern läuft in der gewählten Einstellung für Stunden. - Keine Piepgeräusche, keine Tastentöne. Es ist absolut Lautlos! Somit ist auch ein entspanntes Schlafen möglich, bzw andere werden durch Geräusche nicht gestört. - Dünne Kabel. Die Kabelstränge sind sehr dünn im Vergleich mit anderen Geräten. Dadurch tragen sie z.B. unter dem T-Shirt nicht auf. Negativ muss ich bemerken: - Dafür, dass eine 9 V Batterie das ganze betreibt, und nicht 4 x 1,5 V wie in anderen Geräten üblich, hat das Gerät gefühlt etwas wenig "Biss" Beim "Promed EMT 4" schalte ich selten in die Stufen 40 bis 50 (50 ist die Maximale Einstellung) wohingegen ich beim "TPN 200" die Regler schon oft auf Anschlag hatte.

Sono molto soddisfatta con questo acquisto, dopo di aver letto molte recensioni anche da diversi paesi ho deciso di acquistare questo aparecchio per fare trattamenti tens. Soffrivo da tendinite da luglio 2020, che finalmente volevo trattare in un centro con terapia tecar, che ad essere sincera ancora non so quanto ha aiutato o no. Visto che dopo circa 4-5 giorni del trattamento molto costoso il dolore era tornato, ho deciso di aquistare questo. Insomma 30 euro per seduta, o 35 per un prodotto che uso a modo mio é da considerare. Lo uso da dicembre, all'inizio ogni giorno per 20 minuti, con modalitá M intensitá 3, pulse width 190, pulse rate 8, di solito solo con 2 pad ma a volte anche con 4. Da due settimane lo uso ogni due o 3 giorni, si vede che sta passando il dolore! Per le impostazioni non ho trovato molto utile la descrizione del prodotto, ma online ho trovato indicazioni, cosí ho scelto questo, lo scrivo se possa servire per qualcuno. Questo é consigliato per dolore cronico, fa effetto piú lentamente, ma i risultati saranno piú durevoli. La prima volta comunque anche intensitá 1 mi sembrava tanto, ma dopo mi sono abituata e mi trovo bene con 3. Ho preso altri pad, perché per il mio polso era meglio cosí, come vedete ho il polso molto piccolo. Secondo me assolutamente vale il suo prezzo, anche perché é inutile avere lo schermo se tanto le impostazioni che puoi fare sono solo queste: width, rate, intensity, poi per posizionare i pad uno deve esperimentare. A quanto riguarda la batteria ancora uso quella che era nella confezione. A quanto riguarda i risultati... non mi allenavo da 5 mesi con pesi e avevo difficoltá a spostare una pentola piena... da un mese ho ripreso l'allenamento solito di flessioni e pesi fino a 7 kg per mano, sono sodisfattissima!!!
