Summary: Electrical stimulation can reduce pain in the form of spinal cord stimulator devices and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) therapy. Today, we’ll examine another way of using electricity to control pain. Calmare is a new device that uses electrocutaneous nerve stimulation to relieve chronic pain. It was recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2009 for treating both neuropathic and cancer pain. Cynthia Chauhan, retired clinical social worker and cancer research advocate details the dramatic relief she’s experienced while Dr. Michael Cooney shares his expertise in using Calmare therapy on a variety of painful conditions.
