Hi - have been looking out resolutions to the TN for my mum.. came across this device from nanovibronix? I found a company that offers it in the UK, and supports it.. wonder if anyone here is using one? Can you give any feedback? It looks good potentially..

. I just researched it quickly and looked at a few web site on the pain sheild to me it sounds and looks like a tens unit . I have heard some people find it helps. others say just the reverse. I dont see what it would hurt for you to try it before moving on to another option or surgery. I say if you can try it ..try it cus it may help.

p.s. The pain sheild sound like a baby pns unit... it is on the outside pns is underneath the skin but the same basic idea. just smaller more simple weaker form of stimulation to the area..... that what it seems or looks like in an odd way if that makes any sense .??

I watched some of the video and it says its an ultrasound unit. I don't know what it really is. I have a TENS unit and it interrupts the pain signals so you don't feel the pain, but ultrasound is used mainly on soft tissue and I don't think it would help TN pain if its an ultrasound unit. Do they sell more than one item? I would suggest you inquire as to what type of unit it is before you invest in one.

There is a protocol for using a TENS unit available from a different source. If you do get one, PM me and I can send it to you.
