Pain treatment by electrostatic charge to the whole body
Study Type is Observational as participants in the study receive therapeutic interventions in the therapy cabin as part of routine medical care and a researcher studies the effect of the intervention.
The study includes all persons who are already receiving therapy in the mentioned facilities, no external, specifically selected persons, but existing patients suffering from chronic pain who meet the specified conditions.
The therapy aims to alleviate chronic pain by applying an electrostatic charge of 50'000 Volt to the whole body in the special, electrically insulated cabin. The treatment is done upon the instructions of a physician. It is done with the patient standing up in the treatment cabin. The person is charged and discharged several times over the course of 2x 4 minutes. The charge can be felt on the skin and it can be seen through bristling of the hairs on the body. This treatment is repeated once a week.
