Research summary
Electrotherapy is the use of electric currents passing through the body to stimulate nerves and muscles for medical treatment. Medical Therapy Systems (MTS) is a new concept in medical electro-therapy that combines six scientifically proven technologies within one portable machine. The use of this can provide immediate pain relief in damaged tissues and stimulate the cells for faster and safer healing. This technology can be applied on all parts of the muscles and skeleton, with minimal discomfort and almost instant results. MTS treatment has been used as a treatment technique since the 1950’s and it remains a popular treatment for a range of clinical problems.\nThis study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of MTS in this series of musculoskeletal conditions for adults aged 18 to 80 years old with neuro- and musculoskeletal pain either chronic or acute.\nThe participants attend their physiotherapy clinic and receive standard electrotherapy treatment on MTS as per their condition and disease behaviour, according to the MTS protocol. This may be 4 – 12 sessions. Participants have demographic data collected, and have pain assessed before and after treatment using a visual scale. All treatments are non-invasive, pain free and no change to standard procedure or care thus there is no risk to patients.\nThe study is intended to run at GP site and NHS Trust Site for duration of 3 months finishing in October 2018.\n\n
