As this is OTC, there is no insurance coverage. What does it cost? Unfortunately, many people with chronic pain are not working and can not afford out of pocket costs for devices.

I use a similar PEMF device called OSKA that is much more expensive because it is not disposable after the 7 days or 720 hours of use. It is rechargeable and can be moved to body parts that are affected. I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome with daily dislocations and subluxations with significant muscle spasms and cannot tolerate any pain medications, even NSAIDS, due to systemic mast cell disease. This PEMF device has allowed me to function at a tolerable pain level.

Investigating alternative pain therapies for patients unable to tolerate any standard pain medication is important.

Fascinating and eye opening. Certainly larger and better structured studies are warranted but at the very least, it belongs in the can't hurt, might help pile especially with the current opioid crisis.
