Electrode placement for TENS should be selected based on the painful area or over the peripheral nerve responsible for the pain. This is because TENS works locally and by placing the electrodes in the painful area or over the peripheral nerve responsible for the pain, it can target the specific area where the pain is felt. The chronicity of pain and mode of TENS used may influence the intensity and frequency of the treatment, but they are not the primary factors in electrode placement. The cost of the electrodes is also not a relevant factor in electrode placement.
