Chronic Pain and Use of Microcurrent Stimulation

1. New technology speeds healing while cutting costs. Lathrop, Peter H. Worker's Comp Advisor, February 1990. p.7
   
• Conclusions: The microcurrent patients required fewer visits to resolve the injury (nine treatments). Results of this study demonstrate that the use of microcurrent therapy can significantly reduce treatment and worker down time.
  
  
2. Microcurrent therapy: a novel treatment method for chronic low back myofascial pain. Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies Volume 8, Issue 2 , April 2004, Pages 143-153.
   
• Conclusions: Following treatment with frequency-specific microcurrent, a statistically significant 3.8-fold reduction in pain intensity was observed using a visual analog scale. This outcome was achieved over an average treatment period of 5.6 weeks and a visit frequency of one treatment per week. When pain chronicity exceeded 5 years, there was a trend toward increasing frequency of treatment required to achieve the same magnitude of pain relief.
  
  
3. Is Microcurrent Stimulation Effective in Pain Management? An Additional Perspective. AJPM 2001, 11:64-68 .
   
• Conclusions: With these self-reports of pain patients, the investigator determined that 93.02% claimed significant pain reduction, ranging from a low of 81.82% in chronic regional pain syndrome patients to a high of 98.31% and 100% in those suffering from migraine headaches and carpal tunnel syndrome, respectively.

Postoperative Pain and the Use of Microcurrent Stimulation

1. The effects of home interferential therapy on post-operative pain, edema, and range of motion of the knee. Clin J Sport Med. 2003 Jan; 13(1):16-20.
   
• Conclusions: These findings indicate that home interferential current therapy (IFC) may help reduce pain, pain medication taken, and swelling while increasing range of motion in patients undergoing knee surgery. This could result in quicker return to activities of daily living and athletic activities.
