Date Released:
It was featured in October 2016 at Pharmacy Week held in Trinidad and Tobago.
Company:
BioElectronics
Uses:
Rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, post-op pain, chronic pain due to osteoarthritis, shingles, injuries from sports, and neuropathy
Description
It is an electroceutical and non-invasive apparatus that utilizes electromagnetic fields. It dampens the pain perception of the brain and attunes to the outward nerve activities. The signals are pulsed into the tissue to prevent the brain from adapting to the stimulation.
Unlike TENS, Dr. Ken McLeod of the Clinical Science and Engineering Department at Bingham University said using it does not cause patients to feel heat, tingling, or vibrations.
As of now, ActiPatch is the only available OTC neuromodulation electric apparatus for the management of pain. It is safe to use for the elderly and people with pacemakers, defibrillators, metal implants, arthritis, and diabetes. However, pregnant women should not use this. It can be used for more than 700 hours with an on-and-off button.
Effectiveness
According to a trial study that was in the publication of Pain Management, 5002 participants mentioned that the effectiveness rate of this treatment is around 60-70% when used for various pains. They also reported a huge decrease in usage of OTC and prescribed drugs. More than 60% were able to reduce or eliminate taking opioids. More than 70% had become more active and enjoyed improved sleep.
Conclusion
These are some of the new technologies developed that offer pain relief. If you are tired of using strong opioids for pain relief, then these alternatives could be right for you. However, it is always best to ask for your doctor’s recommendation first before making a decision about this important issue. We hope this article has helped you choose a good alternative for your pain management.
