Microcurrent electrical neuromuscular stimulator
Conventional medicine
A microcurrent electrical neuromuscular stimulator or MENS is a device used to send weak electrical signals into the body. Such devices apply extremely small microamp [μA] electrical currents to the tissues using electrodes placed on the skin. One microampere [μA] is 1 millionth of an ampere and the uses of MENS are distinct from those of "TENS" which runs at one milliamp [mA] or one thousandth of an amp.
