An improved transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) involving a microcurrent (typically 25 to 900 microamps) monophase D.C. carrier signal (typically 10,000 to 19,000 Hz, preferably 15,000 Hz) that is modulated on and off in time (typically at 0.3 Hz up to 10,000 Hz, preferably 9.125 Hz fo

An improved transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) involving a microcurrent (typically 25 to 900 microamps) monophase D.C. carrier signal (typically 10,000 to 19,000 Hz, preferably 15,000 Hz) that is modulated on and off in time (typically at 0.3 Hz up to 10,000 Hz, preferably 9.125 Hz followed by 292 Hz) and further inverted about every second by reversing the polarity of the signal at the electrodes. Such a device has been found to be useful in alleviating pain very rapidly.
