Most people don’t feel the stimulation at all. However, some people may feel a brief tingling sensation when the stimulation is first turned on. Higher levels of stimulation have been described as uncomfortable, jolting, or shocking. If these sensations occur, you should ask your clinician to adjust your stimulation to an appropriate level.
