DR-HO’S Pain Therapy System Control Module
This replacement control module is designed for the compatible standard DR-HO’S Pain Therapy System 4-Pad. It replaces the handheld unit used to select the stimulation mode, session duration and intensity for connected DR-HO’S electrodes and accessories.
The two output channels can connect to compatible lead wires for body pads, a foot therapy pad, a Pain Therapy Back Relief Belt or other approved DR-HO’S accessories. Each channel can be adjusted independently, allowing the sensation to be set at a comfortable level for the connected area.
This listing is for the control module only. Lead wires, electrode pads, foot accessories, back belt, batteries, carry bag and other package components are not included.

The standard 4-pad controller provides independent channel output, selectable pulse patterns and automatic session timing.

Two sockets on the top of the module connect to compatible lead wires, allowing up to four pads to be used.
Separate Intensity Control
The split upper dial provides individual output adjustment for Channels 1 and 2.
