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.
