overall review score: 4.2
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
score is between 0 and 5
Traditional TENS units without patches are electronic devices designed to provide transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy without the need for adhesive electrodes. Instead of using pre-applied patches, these units typically feature reusable electrodes or pads that can be attached directly to the skin via wires. They are used to help manage pain, improve circulation, and relax muscles by delivering controlled electrical impulses.
