Transcutaneous electric Nerve Stimulation for RLS

[Joolsg]

A small study on transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation showed significant improvement of RLS.

Sadly, I suspect it only works whilst using the device.

I believe I have used every electronic or magnetic or body energy moving contraptions to try to fix this condition and they all work while I’m using them, but it doesn’t help when you’re done and you actually start to go to sleep at least for me. They’re getting better and better so there’s improvement.

Fingers crossed🤞

Legs too.😆

I'm starting to think I have a paradoxical response to almost every therapy out there! TENS actually induced RLS in my case.

Yes. A UK device for blood flow in legs called 'Revitive' sent my RLS through the roof!

Oh, no, really? I've seen many devices similar to that, and I always thought they would be helpful for RLS. 🤔

[Joolsg in reply to LanaCSR]

Not for me. It increased the horrendous sensations.I always tell people to buy if there's a guarantee that you can return if it doesn't work.

I sold mine on ebay and didn't lose much.

So far I am satisfied with the Noctrix Nidra device. However my RLS is mild.
