Has anyone heard of this? It's being promoted on FB as the answer to non-drug pain relief from CRPS. Miss Understood: The Oska Pulse Trial — Pain News Network

I try to read a little each day to keep my mind focused on something. I also write things down so I don't forget to do them. Hope you find some relief soon. Hugs.

Thank you for posting about this...I will be asking my doctor about it tomorrow and what he thinks. I can't afford it right now...but if he thinks it may be helpful then I will put it on my list of things to try if/when LTD gets sorted out.

Looks a lot like a TENS machine, just maybe a more "updated" version of it. Those things never worked on me.

It does look similar to a TENS but also different because there are no wires and it seems to work over a larger area. TENS did work pretty well for me until my RSD spread. Once the area wasn't able to be surrounded by the electrodes, it was not longer effective like it was when the pain was localized to one area. So I would be curious if this would work better since it doesn't have electrodes that need to surround the area of pain? I did notice on the bottom of their website it says the device is FDA approved for leisure and wellness...not to diagnose or treat medical conditions. Not that that means it won't help, there are testimonials from people with CRPS that say it helped them (at least a little), for what those are worth in an online setting. When I have the money I may try this out...anything is worth a shot. I tried a similar device and it wasn't very effective...and it stopped working at all rather quickly...but it was 1/4 the price at only $100 so it was easier to just give it a try (I also had money coming in at the time...which makes all the difference in the world).
