How long do the electrode pads last?

Can I use this device if I have a medical condition other than back pain?
This device is specifically designed for lower back pain. It is crucial to consult your doctor before use if you have any pre-existing medical conditions, especially those involving the heart, or if you are taking other medications.
Is it safe to use the device while sleeping?
It is generally not recommended to use TENS devices while sleeping unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional. Always turn the device off before resting.
What should I do if the sensation is too strong, even at low intensity?
If the sensation feels uncomfortable or too strong even at the lowest setting, discontinue use. Ensure the electrode pads are correctly positioned and consider trying a different program or consulting the user manual for guidance.
Can I share electrode pads with someone else?
