How It Works
Harnessing Your Body’s Natural Pain-Relief Mechanisms
PainPause employs three mechanisms to relieve pain:
• Direct Activation: PainPause acts primarily through a unique mechanism that targets the source of major pain-relieving signals that are located underneath the skin. Upon application, its micro-points penetrate the skin where they activate receptors that stimulate nerves that block pain. This shuts down impulses from nerves that cause pain and prevent them from reaching the brain.
• Counter-Irritation: Mild skin irritation provides another mechanism to stimulate nerves that block pain.
• Natural Chemical Stimulation: The micro-points stimulate the body’s production of natural pain-relieving chemicals.
These combined mechanisms provide a powerful, long-lasting solution to treat pain.
Secure and Long-Lasting Hold: A combination of the durable adhesive Cover and
the micro-points allow PainPause to remain securely attached to the skin for a
week.
Using PainPause is Convenient and Easy to Use
PainPause is a small device the size of a Band-Aid® making it easy to apply and convenient to wear for extended periods of time. A simple Cover provided in the package should be placed over each PainPause patch which protects the device and keeps it on the skin for up to a week. There is no special care required. You can shower, bathe, exercise, and perform all your usual activities.
