Can TENS Help with Migraines?
Has anyone used a TENS device specifically for migraines or tension headaches? Where did you place the electrodes, and did it reduce intensity or frequency of attacks? I’m curious whether it works preventively or only once pain has already started.


I’ve tried using a TENS device for tension headaches, and while results varied, I did notice some relief when placing electrodes near the temples or at the base of the neck. It didn’t completely prevent migraines, but it sometimes reduced intensity once pain had started. Some users report better outcomes with consistent use, though it’s not a guaranteed preventive tool. In the middle of my research, I came across tensmachines , which highlighted electrode placement as crucial. Overall, it can be a helpful complementary option, but effectiveness depends on individual response.
