Stimpod tPRF Therapy

MS is a debilitating neurodegenerative disease leading to severe physical or cognitive disability. It is usually associated with the presence of chronic inflammatory states, but a complete understanding of its pathogenesis is yet to be found.

How TENS Devices Work: the Standard Square Wave
In standard therapeutic TENS devices, a square wave at frequencies ranging between 50 and 100 Hz is used for therapy. This type of stimulation pattern is slow and travels at a speed which facilitates transmembrane ionic flow – an essential and well-known mechanism for the generation of action potentials.

PEMF and PRF therapy are two distinct approaches that utilize different types of energy to potentially alleviate pain and promote healing. While both therapies involve the application of pulsed energy, their mechanisms of action and clinical applications differ. Let’s explore each therapy individually and then compare them.
