Appendix A: TENS and MET Program Configuration & Specifications
The following section is an excerpt taken from the most recent update to the Myonyx Hardware User
Manual, specifically addressing TENS and MET:
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) Programs
TENS is designed to stimulate the nervous system with little or no motor contraction.
There are two TENS programs: Chronic Pain and Acute Pain. The delivery type for both is
continuous. This means that ES is delivered throughout the session with no rest phase. For the
chronic pain program, ES is delivered in a burst pattern at two bursts per second. The pattern
for the acute pain program is called Frequency Modulated. The pulse rate and width increase
and decrease following a predefined pattern. The parameters for these programs are listed in
the following table: Program

Microcurrent Electrostimulation Therapy (MET) Program
MET, like TENS, is used for treating some forms of pain. The main difference is that it is applied
at much lower intensities. It is measured in microamps, rather than milliamps.
There is one MET program: Microcurrent. The delivery type is continuous. It is delivered at the
same amplitude throughout the program. The pattern is also continuous. There is no variation in
ES duration during the work phase.
The parameters for this program are listed in the following table:
