No, doing so will firstly not be effective tens simply is not effective for this type of pain, and secondly sending random electrical signals through the brain is not a good idea, at best you will simply make the headache worse the current is probably not enough to damage memory etc but it certainly wont do anything helpful.
Tens works by blocking signals on the way to the brain in nerves so how you expect it to work on a pain which is inside your head I don't know, but I would suggest a non sterodial anti-inflammatory agent such as asperin, paracetamol/tylenol or ibuprofen, if those don't work then a combination including one of the above with codeine or similar should help.
dont be daft thats dangerous
Tens works by emitting an electrical signal to impair nerve paths.
Does this really sound like something you want to try on your brain?
A very good question never thought of that -----------I don't know the answer lol.
No they advise you not to use on face but if I have a migraine I put the pads on the back of my neck and this seems to help to release the tension in those muscles and eases the headache.Good luck.
would not advice doing it
no you can not.dont do it it is dangerous.vici.take a asprin like the rest of us.
