Hello @japanjim, Actually there are quite a few discussions and comments by members on using Transcutaneous Electronic Nerve Stimulation (TENS) devices for peripheral neuropathy. Here's a search of Connect if you want to scan through the comments and discussions while you wait for other members to respond - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/?search=TENS+%2B+neuropathy.
Early on after my diagnosis, I tried a Zopec DT-1200 to see if it would help with my PN numbness but after a few months use, I gave up on it as it didn't help at all for me. I only have numbness with my PN so can't speak for it helping with pain.

There is a machine from Israel, at least that’s where it was when I purchased it years ago and it works. Name is pain shield. Look it up online and you might be able to purchase it. Works for me that’s all I can say.
