Clinical Studies

Clinical evaluation of the safety and efficacy of Biowave neuromodulation pain therapy systems have studied osteoarthritis, chronic low back pain, acute pain associated with sports injuries, and postoperative pain.

Postoperative pain following knee replacement surgery using BiowavePRO

T. Wanich, J. Gelber, R. Windsor, S. Rodeo. A randomized controlled pilot study to determine average maximum intensity settings, safety, and initial efficacy in terms of pain reduction, increased range of motion, and reduced pain medications, for a percutaneous neuromodulation pain therapy device ("Deepwave^®") following post-operative treatments for total knee replacement procedures. Unpublished manuscript.
