Stimulating larger nerve fibers—responsible for touch, pressure, or vibration—can override the pain signals. These large fibers activate inhibitory neurons that "shut the gate," reducing the amount of pain information that reaches the brain. Clinical Applications
Non-Invasive: There are no needles or incisions. The treatment is delivered through adhesive electrodes placed on the skin.Drug-Free: It avoids the systemic risks associated with long-term NSAID or opioid use, such as liver damage or addiction.Customizable: Users can often adjust the intensity and rhythm to match their specific "pain signature." The Future of Pain Control pain gate ddsc 018
Mapping the efficiency of a patient's pain gate using the DDSC-018 protocol provides critical data for several medical applications. Stimulating larger nerve fibers—responsible for touch
