Primera TENS/NMES with HAN Waveform
1965 - Melzak and Wall “Gate Control Theory”
1970 - First High Frequency TENS devices marketed
1979 - Cheng and Pomeranz landmark study
1979 to 1991 - no significant findings addressing the basic techniques of low and high frequency in TENS
1991 - Dr. Ji Sheng Han at the Neuroscience Research Institute, Beijing Medical University in Beijing China Extensive research into electro-acupuncture and the role of endogenous opioid peptides in pain control, found: LOW frequency stimulation accelerates the release of two opitates in the brain to manage pain Slightly HIGHER frequencies accelerate the release of a third opitate in the spinal cord, effectively reducing muscle spasm.
Dr. Han, found the best parameters for pain and spasm reduction is a precisely controlled sequence of: Dense-and-Disperse (DD) modes of stimulation where 2 Hz is alternating with 15 or 70 Hz, each lasting for 3 seconds Under these Han parameters all three types of opioid peptides are released simultaneously
