Measure
Real Then Sham
Participants are instructed to wear the TheraBracelet device on the affected wrist every day for at least 8 hours/day during their daily activity for 1 month. After 2-week washout, participants are again instructed to wear the device on the affected wrist every day for at least 8 hours/day during their daily activity for 1 month. The device applies real stimulation in the first month. The device applies no stimulation in the second month. The stimulation is imperceptible. Thus, participants do not perceive stimulation in either month. Real Stimulation: The device applies wrist vibration at a subthreshold (imperceptible) level. Sham Stimulation: The device applies no vibration.
