Abstract
Analgesic normally used as a fast solution for pain relief. However, the over usage of the drug may result in harmful side effect. In the previous work, an alternative method replacing the usage of the drug were proposed known as 2 Channel Transcutaneous Electrical Stem Stimulator (DTES). However, the current DTES unable to vary the output level according to the patient's level of pain. Hence, this paper proposes a new Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) with multiple variable output by referring the range for Peripheral Nervous System. This new method able to produce variable output compared to the previous 2Channel DTES system. Although the waveform and more than 15% errors were recorded in this 5-channel DTES, still this project can be considered to be successful as it's able to prove the 5-channel DTES is feasible in producing multiple output coherent to the patient's level of pain. Since the system found to be feasible, with the suggested modification, it's believed the 5-channel DTES able to perform better.
