Standard over the counter (OTC) products were designed for minor acute (short-term) pain. PainPause was developed by a physician to treat chronic and severe pain — a problem those products were never built to solve.

EASY TO USE PATCH THAT PROVIDES POWERFUL PAIN RELIEF
A Non-Prescription OTC Patch for Treating Severe and Chronic Pain at Home
Current non-prescription products are for everyday aches and pains — work for mild pain for a few hours.
There are a broad range of OTC products, including patches, gels, creams, ointments, sprays, and pills, that are primarily used for treating mild pain and only provide relief for a few hours. They work for most people — because this kind of pain is easy to treat.
PainPause is an OTC product designed for a tougher problem — chronic and severe pain.
PainPause is an entirely new type of product — an easy-to-use, drug-free patch with patented features to treat severe pain. Extended wear time to provide 7 days of pain relief with a single application. Clinically proven to provide one week of pain relief for severe and chronic pain.
PainPause has been clinically proven to treat moderate to severe pain for 7 days.
In a clinical study, 70% of patients with moderate to severe chronic pain due to several musculoskeletal conditions (back pain, sciatica, knee pain, and chest pain) experienced significant pain relief for a week after a single treatment with PainPause.

IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR PAIN MANAGEMENT PLAN
Self-treatment at home
With its convenience, ease of use, and strong safety profile, PainPause is ideal for people who are caring for themselves with serious pain. No need to worry about the risks of other treatments being used for their pain or for other chronic conditions.
Alongside care by your healthcare provider and other treatments
Clinical treatments like prescription drugs, surgery, steroid injections, physical therapy, nerve blockers, and spinal cord stimulation can be the right choice for many people. PainPause can be used at home before, during, or after these without adding risks.
Potential to reduce or eliminate need for opioids
Provides an option for people to treat serious pain on their own without using opioids. This avoids the risks of addiction and other dangers associated with these medications.
As part of Wellness Care
Wellness is about self-care — things you can do to improve your body and mind and thus overall health. These include movement, yoga, sleep, movement, nutrition, mental health and stress management. By providing pain relief, PainPause can help you carry out the other activities of wellness care.
Ongoing chronic pain
PainPause can be applied again to treat persistent pain as long as the application area is free of irritation and inflammation. With one week of pain relief, using it a few times a month is all that is required to achieve continuing pain relief for those with chronic pain.
Pain flares
Many people with chronic pain experience bouts of severe pain referred to as pain flares. Pain flares typically last from a few days to a week and occur several times each year. PainPause is ideal for treating this condition given that it provides pain relief for a week and works quickly to provide pain relief.
UNIQUE MECHANISM OF ACTION
Pain travels via the nervous system to the brain
Pain is experienced when pain impulses are transmitted via nerves from a site to the spinal cord and then to the brain where the sensation is experienced.
PainPause Applied to Target Major Source of Pain Relief under Skin Surface
When PainPause is applied, its tiny Micro-Points gently penetrate just below the skin surface — where pain-blocking mechanical receptors are located.
Receptors Activate Your Body's "Off-Switch"
The Micro-Points stimulate these receptors, triggering nerve impulses that travel to the spinal cord — blocking pain signals before they can reach the brain.
Uninterrupted Relief for a Full Week
The combination of Micro-Points and strong medical-grade adhesive keeps PainPause securely in place for 7 days to provide continuous receptor activation and uninterrupted pain relief.
CLINICAL EVIDENCE
PainPause was evaluated in a clinical study of patients with moderate-to-severe chronic low back pain, sciatica, knee pain, and thoracic pain. Each patient received a single treatment with the product. The average level of their pain decreased by more than 50% over the week of the study. Over 70% of patients experienced clinically significant pain relief that lasted for 7 days.

Clinically Significant Pain Relief
This is indicated by a 30% or more reduction in level of pain after treatment. This is an endpoint used by pain medicine experts because this is amount of relief that leads to improved quality of life in patients.
Challenging patient population
Unlike other OTC products that are tested in mild short-term pain, PainPause was evaluated in patients with difficult to treat chronic musculoskeletal conditions and high levels of pain.
Promising results that compare favorably to drugs, surgery, injections, PT, etc.
A 70% response rate is encouraging — higher than reported for most other treatments, but it was not directly compared to them.
Adults of all ages including seniors
Safe and effective across a wide age range of people, and can be used in those with chronic medical conditions affecting the heart, kidneys, lungs, liver, and other organs.
Clinically relevant endpoint: 7-day duration of pain relief
The study monitored pain levels for one week. This contrasts with most OTC pain relief products that are short acting with pain relief measured for a few hours.
Rapid onset of pain relief
Some patients reported less pain within minutes of application. Others within a few hours. Continuous pain relief while the patch was worn and even for days after device removal in some patients.

Limited clinical experience using the product in other painful conditions
PainPause has been used successfully for other conditions listed above (e.g., shoulder and hip pain) but has not been clinically tested.

Endorsed By Physicians Who Treat Serious Pain
Many physicians, including orthopedic surgeons, pain medicine specialists, podiatrists, and primary care physicians have used PainPause personally and recommend it to patients.
I had an “aha” moment during an episode of my severe recurrent back pain and tried PainPause to treat my pain. Based on my experience treating musculoskeletal pain as an orthopedic surgeon, I tried PainPause and it gave me great pain relief. I have also used PainPause to treat knee pain and plantar fasciitis. It really works great!
I am a surgeon who has suffered from severe back pain and sciatica for many years. I have tried all sorts of treatments without pain relief. This has made it difficult to sleep and walk. I tried PainPause and was amazed at how effective it was in relieving my pain. My sleep improved dramatically, and I am now able to walk for long distances. For me, it provides pain relief for several weeks. It is simple and easy to use. I am now a big fan and continue to use it.
I am a physician who has been treating my elderly patients with chronic back pain with PainPause for the last year. Most of them have severe pain. It has done a great job of reducing their pain. I am very impressed with this product and intend to continue to use it on my patients. I developed plantar fasciitis and had been frustrated by the lack of effective ways to treat my pain. My podiatrist applied PainPause, and my pain subsided. I am a great believer in this product.
I have been using PainPause along with gentle exercise and a healthy lifestyle to effectively treat my acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain.
Very pleased with the extent of which my shoulder discomfort in advance of anticipated rotator cuff surgery was reduced. Virtually eliminating the use of prescription analgesics.
For several months, I had significant back pain that limited my sleep to 90 minutes and curtailed my activities! I tried a litany of treatments without pain relief. I tried PainPause and was surprised when it changed the direction of my condition. The pain significantly lessened and has now disappeared. I can play golf again and most importantly get a good night's sleep. It was a game changer for me!
I have had aching knees for more than 5 years. At 75 years old, my knees ache in colder weather and when I walk up the stairs. I tried PainPause on my knees and was very surprised with how quickly and how well it worked in eliminating my pain. I kept PainPause on my knees for several days and had no pain.
PainPause unlocked my muscle tightness in my neck, shoulders and back. I went from immobile to mobile. I would strongly recommend to anyone struggling with back and neck pain to give it a try.
