TENS experience: I had to suction the electrodes to back of head for a
year. They fell off a lot etc, and as hair grew in even the sticky
stuff didn't work. A physical therapist showed me some are helped
(including me) by making the contact not to the head at all, but to left
hand, wqeb between thumb and forefinger. (I hear this is a common
accupressure site, and even digging a fingernail in here can stop
a headache). I went a half year with the tens stimulating the hand, this
way, and for me, effective while re-cuperating from brain stem surgery
(retro
mastoid crainiectomy for nerve decompressions). TENS users who find it
slipping from their back, their calves, neck, etc., might try this, Best
of luck. Linda
