Esencialmente, una unidad TENS es una forma de aliviar el dolor mediante el uso de pulsos el\u00e9ctricos leves. Estas peque\u00f1as m\u00e1quinas tienen cables que se conectan a almohadillas adhesivas, tambi\u00e9n llamadas almohadillas de electrodos.<\/p>\n<p>Transcut\u00e1neo significa que los electrodos se colocan estrat\u00e9gicamente sobre la piel. Cuando enciende el peque\u00f1o dispositivo que funciona con bater\u00eda, env\u00eda impulsos el\u00e9ctricos al \u00e1rea afectada del cuerpo.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfC\u00f3mo funciona una m\u00e1quina TENS?<\/h3>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30189\" src=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-does-a-tens-machine-work.jpg\" alt=\"como funciona una maquina de decenas\" width=\"512\" height=\"276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-does-a-tens-machine-work.jpg 512w, https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-does-a-tens-machine-work-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Cuando la m\u00e1quina TENS env\u00eda esos impulsos el\u00e9ctricos al cuerpo, puede ayudar a reducir las se\u00f1ales de dolor enviadas por el cuerpo al cerebro y la m\u00e9dula espinal. Esto conduce a la relajaci\u00f3n muscular y al alivio del dolor. Adem\u00e1s, las m\u00e1quinas TENS pueden estimular la producci\u00f3n de endorfinas en el cuerpo. Las endorfinas son esencialmente los analg\u00e9sicos naturales del cuerpo.<\/p>\n<p>M\u00e1s espec\u00edficamente, la estimulaci\u00f3n nerviosa el\u00e9ctrica transcut\u00e1nea (TENS) reduce la capacidad del sistema nervioso para enviar mensajes de dolor al cerebro y la m\u00e9dula espinal. Esto, junto con la liberaci\u00f3n de endorfinas del cuerpo mientras usa la m\u00e1quina, proporciona un alivio del dolor muy necesario.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfC\u00f3mo se usa una m\u00e1quina TENS?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>NOTA:<\/strong> Recomendamos programar una cita con su m\u00e9dico especialista en analg\u00e9sicos para entender c\u00f3mo usar su unidad TENS, as\u00ed como d\u00f3nde colocar los electrodos y qu\u00e9 configuraci\u00f3n es mejor para usted. Puede ser dif\u00edcil determinar esta informaci\u00f3n por su cuenta.<\/p>\n<p>Antes de usar una m\u00e1quina TENS, es importante entender exactamente c\u00f3mo usarla. Antes de encenderlo, recomendamos probar los niveles de la bater\u00eda para asegurar una carga completa. Identifique las perillas de control. Una perilla aumenta y disminuye la fuerza de la corriente el\u00e9ctrica. La otra perilla controla la velocidad de las se\u00f1ales. Antes de encender su m\u00e1quina, le recomendamos que se asegure de que ambas perillas est\u00e9n en la posici\u00f3n &quot;Apagado&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>Antes de comenzar con la colocaci\u00f3n de los electrodos, limpie la piel donde piensa colocarlos con alcohol. Deja que la piel se seque por completo. Luego, colocar\u00e1 una fina capa de gel para electrodos en cada electrodo. Aseg\u00farese de que el gel est\u00e9 en el mismo lado del electrodo que har\u00e1 contacto con la piel. Este gel ayuda a que los impulsos el\u00e9ctricos lleguen a las terminaciones nerviosas de la piel.<\/p>\n<p>Luego, coloque los electrodos en las \u00e1reas afectadas, utilizando cinta o parches de grado m\u00e9dico para asegurarlos a la piel. Si est\u00e1 colocando electrodos en lugares de dif\u00edcil acceso, le recomendamos que alguien le ayude con la colocaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Una vez colocado, enganche los conectores al final de los cables a los electrodos. Conecte los cables a su unidad TENS. Gire lentamente las perillas de control para alcanzar la configuraci\u00f3n adecuada. Sentir\u00e1s una sensaci\u00f3n de hormigueo cuando comience el tratamiento TENS.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00bfQu\u00e9 tan efectivas son las m\u00e1quinas TENS?<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-30190\" src=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-high-should-i-set-my-tens-unit-2-800x432.jpg\" alt=\"\u00bfQu\u00e9 tan alto debo configurar mi unidad de decenas?\" width=\"800\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-high-should-i-set-my-tens-unit-2-800x432.jpg 800w, https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-high-should-i-set-my-tens-unit-2-1200x648.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-high-should-i-set-my-tens-unit-2-768x415.jpg 768w, https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-high-should-i-set-my-tens-unit-2-1536x829.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-high-should-i-set-my-tens-unit-2-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-high-should-i-set-my-tens-unit-2.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Esto var\u00eda de paciente a paciente. Si est\u00e1 considerando TENS, le recomendamos que hable con nuestros especialistas en alivio del dolor. TENS es una opci\u00f3n relativamente popular debido a su naturaleza no invasiva en comparaci\u00f3n con otros procedimientos. Si est\u00e1 buscando una forma de tratar el dolor en el momento, TENS puede ser una soluci\u00f3n adecuada para usted.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfFuncionan las unidades TENS?<\/h3>\n<p>Desafortunadamente, TENS no es una forma efectiva de aliviar el dolor para todas las personas. Sin embargo, muchas personas han encontrado un gran \u00e9xito con \u00e9l. La evidencia cient\u00edfica no respalda concretamente las unidades TENS como formas confiables de controlar el dolor. Cada paciente es diferente, sin embargo. Lo que funciona para ti puede no funcionar para otra persona, y viceversa.<\/p>\n<p>Generalmente, TENS ayuda a algunas personas a reducir el dolor. Su eficacia depende en gran medida de cada paciente, as\u00ed como de las condiciones espec\u00edficas que pretenda tratar. TENS no curar\u00e1 el dolor cr\u00f3nico. En su mayor\u00eda proporciona alivio del dolor a corto plazo, al igual que los medicamentos para el dolor. Los pacientes pueden usar una unidad TENS como un m\u00e9todo complementario de alivio del dolor adem\u00e1s de otros tratamientos.<\/p>\n<h3>Beneficios de las unidades TENS<\/h3>\n<p>El uso de una unidad TENS tiene muchos beneficios y es efectivo para muchos tipos de dolor. A continuaci\u00f3n, enumeramos varios beneficios de TENS.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Rentabilidad<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Alternativa no invasiva<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Ayuda con muchos tipos de dolor, incluidos los siguientes\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/es\/conditions\/joint-pain\/\">Dolor en las articulaciones<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">Dolor agudo<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">Dolor cr\u00f3nico<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">Lesiones deportivas<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">Per\u00edodo y dolores de parto<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">Endometriosis<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/es\/conditions\/fibromyalgia\/\">Fibromialgia<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/es\/conditions\/diabetic-neuropathy\/\">Dolor de neuropat\u00eda diab\u00e9tica<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/es\/conditions\/spinal-pain\/\">Lesiones de la m\u00e9dula espinal<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/es\/conditions\/arthritis\/\">Dolor de artritis<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Reducir la ingesta de analg\u00e9sicos adictivos<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\u00bfC\u00f3mo se siente una unidad TENS?<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30191\" src=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tens-unit.jpg\" alt=\"unidad de decenas\" width=\"512\" height=\"276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tens-unit.jpg 512w, https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tens-unit-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Cuando comience su terapia TENS, le recomendamos que aumente gradualmente los peque\u00f1os impulsos el\u00e9ctricos hasta alcanzar una intensidad de tratamiento c\u00f3moda. TENS generalmente se siente como un leve zumbido, hormigueo o espasmos musculares. No deber\u00eda doler en absoluto. La intensidad debe ser fuerte pero lo suficientemente c\u00f3moda para que la aguantes durante la duraci\u00f3n del tratamiento.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00bfSe puede abusar de una unidad TENS?<\/h2>\n<p>T\u00e9cnicamente, no. Aunque, si experimenta espasmos musculares durante el tratamiento, es posible que desee considerar tomar descansos despu\u00e9s de las sesiones de 30 minutos. Las contracciones excesivas pueden provocar dolor muscular y fatiga.<\/p>\n<p>Si no experimenta espasmos musculares, le recomendamos <strong>tomar al menos un descanso de 10 minutos cada hora<\/strong> que utiliza la unidad. Puede usar la m\u00e1quina tanto como quiera durante el d\u00eda. Algunos pacientes incluso utilizan las unidades durante m\u00e1s de cinco horas al d\u00eda.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfPuede una unidad TENS causar da\u00f1o muscular?<\/h3>\n<p>Como dijimos anteriormente, TENS puede causar espasmos musculares. El uso de TENS a largo plazo que causa espasmos musculares puede fatigar los m\u00fasculos. Tambi\u00e9n puede causar una acumulaci\u00f3n excesiva de materiales de desecho, lo que podr\u00eda provocar da\u00f1o muscular con el tiempo. Es por eso que recomendamos tomar descansos frecuentes cuando se utiliza una unidad TENS.<\/p>\n<p>El principal efecto secundario del uso de TENS es una leve irritaci\u00f3n de la piel en el sitio del electrodo.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00bfCu\u00e1ntas horas al d\u00eda puede usar una unidad TENS?<\/h2>\n<p>Tenemos diferentes recomendaciones dependiendo del tipo de dolor que desees tratar con tu unidad. Para el dolor agudo, recomendamos usar su unidad de veinte a sesenta minutos a la vez, cuatro veces al d\u00eda. Tome al menos un descanso de diez minutos entre sesiones.<\/p>\n<p>Para el dolor cr\u00f3nico, recomendamos usar su unidad de veinte a treinta minutos, hasta cinco veces por semana. Por lo general, una m\u00e1quina TENS puede proporcionar alivio hasta por cuatro horas seguidas. Por esta raz\u00f3n, no debe usar la unidad sin parar o en exceso.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfPuede una unidad TENS da\u00f1ar los nervios?<\/h3>\n<p>El uso de configuraciones de alta intensidad y alta frecuencia del pulso no produce da\u00f1o a los nervios si se usa para estimulaci\u00f3n a corto plazo. Sin embargo, la estimulaci\u00f3n cr\u00f3nica o excesiva puede da\u00f1ar la estructura de los nervios. Este da\u00f1o estructural puede alterar la funci\u00f3n general de los nervios. Hable con un profesional de la salud de confianza antes de usar su unidad TENS. Esto lo ayudar\u00e1 a determinar la ubicaci\u00f3n, la intensidad, la frecuencia y m\u00e1s.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00bfQu\u00e9 tan alto debo configurar mi unidad TENS?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-30193\" src=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-high-should-i-set-my-tens-unit-1-800x432.jpg\" alt=\"\u00bfQu\u00e9 tan alto debo configurar mi unidad de decenas?\" width=\"800\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-high-should-i-set-my-tens-unit-1-800x432.jpg 800w, https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-high-should-i-set-my-tens-unit-1-1200x648.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-high-should-i-set-my-tens-unit-1-768x415.jpg 768w, https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-high-should-i-set-my-tens-unit-1-1536x829.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-high-should-i-set-my-tens-unit-1-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-high-should-i-set-my-tens-unit-1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Esto depende de lo que pretenda tratar con la unidad.
