1. New Ways to Manage Pain
Millions of individuals suffer from chronic pain. This is a serious public health problem since many people easily become addicted to the current treatments that physicians often prescribe. The future of healthcare tech is finding new ways for individuals to manage pain. Prescouter lists several new advancements that are helping people manage pain more effectively while improving safety.
Implants – ReActive8 is a neurostimulation implant that helps manage lower back pain. The implant sends electrical stimulation to specific nerves. This is specifically for adults who have back pain that relates to the lumbar multifidus muscle and are not eligible for spine surgery.
Patches – Over-the-counter, drug-free patches are now available to relieve a variety of musculoskeletal pain. This may seem like a low-tech solution, but patches such as the BioElectronic’s ActiPatch can teach nerves to “unlearn” pain by sending tiny electromagnetic waves.
Radiofrequency – Radiofrequency ablation uses radio waves to reduce or even hinder the transmission of pain. This is a minimally invasive technique that provides consistent results.
