Clinical Evidence
BioElectronics’ Landmark 5,000+ Chronic Pain Patient Study Published in Pain Management Medical Journal
Musculoskeletal pain is wide spread in society, negatively impacts quality of life and is currently inadequately treated for most people. BioElectronics Corporation (the manufacturer of ActiPatchTM) has conducted a 7-Day trial program in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The reported responses indicate that it is an effective pain therapy for a wide range of common conditions causing pain including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia.
A registry study of 44,000 users of its ActiPatchTM 7-day trial device has been published in the prominent peer reviewed medical journal Pain Management. More than 5,000 chronic pain sufferers responded to the survey and submitted an assessment. Click here to view the article
Chronic pain is a major unmet medical need that affects 20 to 40 % of the global population (more than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined.) The majority of chronic pain causes, 80-85%, are musculoskeletal in nature. Despite using an average of 1.9 drugs for pain, 86% of the respondents reported that prior to using ActiPatchTM, they had pain levels of 8+ on a 11 point VAS scale- indicating severe unresolved pain. Pain was reduced an average of 57% for 65% of ActiPatchTM Therapy users who reported suffering from conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, post-surgical pain, tendonitis, and neuropathy. There were no side effects reported.
