Reduced Pain and Improved Function Following Short-Term Use of Noninvasive BioWave High Frequency Peripheral Nerve Stimulation for Pain Management
Alaa Abd-Elsayed, Michael Gyorfi, Michael Fischman, Charles Odonkor, Bradford Siff, Kevin Cyr. Pain and Therapy; Feb 20, 2023.
Open-label survey of chronic pain patients recruited from Veteran Affairs, orthopedic and pain health systems. This retrospective pilot study is shaped around a noninvasive neuromodulation system over a 2-week treatment timeline. The magnitude of the patient population (1511 patients) is amongst the largest population sizes ever studied for noninvasive neuromodulation. The study aimed at assessing the efficacy of non-invasive peripheral nerve stimulation using BioWave to treat chronic pain.

Significantly Reduced Pain and Improved Function Following Short-Term Use of the BioWaveHOME High Frequency Neurostimulation System for Conservative Pain Management
Lindsay Kleinwaks, Ph.D., Senior Associate, Regulatory Affairs Dave McGurl, Director, Regulatory Affairs. Following two weeks of BioWaveHOME use, four hundred sixty three (463) subjects provided responses via returned surveys. The BioWaveHOME device provided subjects with statistically and clinically significant reductions in pain, with an average reduction in pain score of 3 points.
