What Is The Likelihood That A Tens/EMS Machine Can Cause A Seizure?

I'm wanting to buy a tens/EMS Machine for sore muscles, but have heard they can trigger a seizure in people with Epilepsy. Anyone with any knowledge on this?

I did some research on the TENS EMS device / machine. It mentions that many people with Epilepsy had an adverse effect from it .

But there were also people with Epilepsy, who have used it for years and didn’t experience any of those effects.

At the end of the message they say, that if you or anyone has epilepsy, to contact a Tens EMS specialist.
