| Conventional (High Rate) TENS | Relief of acute or chronic pain; Based on the Gate Theory |
| Acupuncture-like (Low Rate) TENS | Chronic conditions with longer lasting pain relief |
| Pulse Burst TENS | Stimulation of endogenous opiates |
| Brief Intense (High-Intensity) | Pain relief for painful procedures such as wound debridement, deep friction massage, or passive stretching |
| Conventional (High Rate) TENS | High frequency, Short pulse width, Low intensity |
| Acupuncture-like (Low Rate) TENS | Low frequency, Wide pulse width, Higher intensities |
| Brief Intense TENS | High frequency, Long pulse width, Higher intensities |
| Muscle Strengthening | 30-50Hz, 250usec to produce firm contractions |
| Conventional (High Rate) TENS | Sensory stimulation only, primarly affects the large afferent (A) fibers |
