Who should not use a TENS unit?

Marc Darrow (Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Joint Rehabilitation Sports Medical Center, Inc. ) gives expert video advice on: When is spinal cord stimulation used?; How does TENS control pain? and more...

A TENS machine could be used by just about anyone who has pain. We don't want to use it on people that are either insensate (meaning they don't have sensation in an area), people who are sedated who can't tell if they're having pain from the device itself, or people that are demented; people that don't really understand what's going on and aren't able to communicate back as to what's going on from the machine.
