On the other hand I am quite happy using low voltage (3 to 12v) on my self, as long as it is current controlled, or very low voltage (1.5v) if uncontrolled. Hi Tony, I'm not sure what a " TENS " device is. I have never read up on one but now the curiosity bump is itching I will have to. I only used the little double a battery with the wire I soldered on each end. I used it as near to the abscess as I could get it inside & outside of my cheek...I never felt any current passing through my jaw & have never felt anything from one when I have touched both ends with wet fingers... A 9 volt is different I got sparked only once on my tongue when I touched it to see if it was a live one. I learned " NOT" to do that again very quickly. :-). Lois
