A pilot clinical study was conducted in 18 patients with severe chronic low back pain. Clinically significant pain relief was demonstrated in 17 of the 18 patients (94%). Moreover, pain relief continued for one week after a single application of the device in a majority of those treated. This level of pain relief is much higher than what has been reported with other treatments including those provided by healthcare providers and prescription drugs (e.g., surgery, steroid injections, physical therapy, narcotics, acupuncture) which have been reported to provide significant pain relief in only 5-30% of patients.
