Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
A clinical trial is planned to evaluate the therapy but, in the absence of relevant published evidence, a preliminary study is required to look for a treatment effect and inform a power calculation for sample size, The study is comparing the effects of two different forms of microcurrent treatment.
