Abstract: A Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, TENS, device has a pair of electrodes for attachment to the skin of a user. It is determined that at least one of the electrodes is peeling, by applying constant voltage pulses to the pair of electrodes; detecting a peak current at the start of the pulse, and detecting a plateau current at the end of the pulse; comparing peak currents from a plurality of pulses; comparing plateau pulses from the plurality of pulses; and determining that at least one of the electrodes is peeling if the peak currents from the plurality of pulses decline over time and if the plateau pulses from the plurality of pulses decline over time.
