How does Ova relieve period pain?
Ova is a pocket-sized device that consists of two self-adhesive electrode pads, which are placed on either side of your stomach. These are connected to a small, push-button control unit. By sending electrical impulses - called TENS - through your skin, the Ova attacks pain in two ways. Firstly, it stimulates the release of endorphins, your body's own natural pain-relievers. And second, it stimulates the fibres, blocking out pain messages before they reach the pain.
TENS is used for lots of different kinds of pain, from childbirth through to migraine and arthritis. It's also used for phantom limb pain, which goes some way to illustrating how TENS works. Many people who have lost a limb still feel intense pain in that limb, even though it no longer exists. This is because the brain is accustomed to it being there, and cannot 'switch off' the signals that it thinks it is receiving from the limb. This demonstrates that pain is a question of perception by the brain, and TENS allows us to interfere with the way in which our brains perceive pain.
TENS has been used for many years, during which it has been shown to be safe, reliable and controllable. Unlike painkilling drugs, it's not possible to overdose on TENS, and it allows you to manage pain, allowing you to get on with your life.
