A tens machine works by applying electromagnetic waves to your nerves to relax them and train them to be less sensitive (chronic pain leads to sensitization) by attaching a heat to the electrodes it would become ineffective and lead to the production of friction which can be dangerous.

However you can put a heating pad (wrapped in a towel) over the tens machine while it's on.
