Pocket sized device eases chronic pain claims
Researchers at Scripps Clinic describe a cigarette pack sized neuro pacemaker that provided significant relief in 50 to 70 percent of chronic pain cases during three years of testing. The battery unit powers transcutaneous electrical pulses via electrodes over the pain area and can be worn on a belt or in a pocket. The device aims to depolarize nerve cells to block pain signals, offering a potential new approach within the Pain Treatment Center led by Dr. Richard Sternbach.
