Okay folks the procedure is called "Electro chemical Therapy" My cousin is having this done twice a week for 16 weeks. She is given a nerve block with 25 mil of Murcaine and then some kind of electrode stimulation from a devise called "Electro Analgehic delivery system" she says it's different than a tens unit.
