Recent studies have demonstrated that electrical stimulation of nerves leads to inhibitory input to the pain pathways at the spinal cord level. [7] PNS is most effective in the treatment of neuropathic pain (e.g., posttraumatic neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy) when the nerve lesion is distal to the site of stimulation. [8]
Amy Baxter (born April 24, 1967) is an American physician, inventor, and pain researcher who is best known for her innovations in pain management. As the founder of Pain Care Labs in 2005, a research group focused on reducing opioid use for pain, she was instrumental for the inventions of Buzzy, an over-the-counter needle pain device, and VibraCool, a product used to relieve pains and aches ...
The term has also been applied specifically to the use of electric current to speed up wound healing. The use of electromagnetic stimulation or EMS is also very wide for dealing with muscular pain. [3] Additionally, the term "electrotherapy" or "electromagnetic therapy" has also been applied to a range of alternative medical devices and ...
Because the pain-relieving response is directly linked to emotional processing, trusting a health care provider or believing in a treatment’s effectiveness can boost the placebo potential.
Neurostimulation technology can improve the life quality of those who are severely paralyzed or have profound losses to various sense organs, as well as for permanent reduction of severe, chronic pain which would otherwise require constant (around-the-clock), high-dose opioid therapy (such as neuropathic pain and spinal-cord injury).
PepsiCo can be sued for marketing its Gatorade protein bars as good for you though they have more sugar than protein and more sugar than typical candy bars, a federal judge ruled. In a decision on ...
Scrambler therapy involves the use of electronic stimulation on the skin with the goal of overwhelming pain information with non-pain information. [1] In a therapy session, "electrocardiographic-like pads are placed around the area of pain". [2] Limited research has been done on the effectiveness of scrambler theory. [3]
The antibody treatment, sasanlimab, in combination with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine met the main goal of the study in patients with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC ...
