- TTNS or PTNS with TENS 7000
Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation or Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation
Location:
1) inside of ankle behind heel
2) two electrode spaces above or below electrode #1 (lower leg or inside foot/arch)
Setting up TTNS:
Turn intensity @ dial until you get toe curling OR sensory result along tibial nerve. This will often be around 3-4 amplitude.
If no toe curl/sensation: reposition pads and try again.
This ensures you are on the tibial nerve.
Turn intensity down so no muscle activity but still comfortability strong sensation.
Parameters most often used:
Width: 200 uS
Rate: 10 Hz
Time: 10-30 minutes
Mode: Normal or modulation
Anywhere from daily to weekly
DO NOT use if:
You have a pacemaker.
You are driving/working heavy machinery/about to go to sleep
You have cancer.
Some research uses 20Hz to match the PTNS frequency but remember this is the Hz at which tetanic contraction starts so you may not get intensity (mA) up as high.
Expect results within 1-3 weeks:
Reduce urge/frequency
Increase ability to empty
