Chronic Back Pain -  Meyer F.P., M.D., Nebrensky A., Ph.D.: A double-blind comparative study of micro-stimulation and placebo effect in short term treatment of the chronic back pain patient.  California Health Review vol 2 number 1 Aug - Sept. 1983.  Forty subjects with chronic back pain were divided into two groups - one received real micro stimulation, and the other placebo.  The subjects in the real group experienced an average pain reduction of 37.26% greater than the placebo group.  A two-month follow-up showed a significant difference, 75.22% pain reduction in the real, and 6.3% pain reduction in the placebo group.  Micro Stimulation was administered with the Electro-Acuscope.

Wound Healing - Carley and Wainapel: Electrotherapy for Acceleration of Wound Healing:  Low Intensity Direct Current Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Vol. 66, July 1985.                                                                                                                        Summary:  30 hospital patients with non-healing ulcers were divided into two groups, one treated with conventional wound dressings and one with microcurrent stimulation at 300 - 700 uA.  The latter group was given two two hour stimulation periods per day.  After six weeks of such treatments, the group treated with microcurrent showed a 150 - 250% faster healing rate, with stronger scar formation, less pain and lessened infection of the treated area.

Wolcott, Wheeler, Hardwicke, and Rowley:  Accelerated Healing of Skin Ulcers by Electrotherapy.  Southern Medical Journal, July 1969.                                                 Summary:  These researchers applied microcurrent stimulation ranging from 200 - 800 uA to a wide variety of wounds, using negative polarity over the lesions in the initial phase, and then alternating positive and negative electrodes every three days.  The treated group showed 200 - 350% faster healing rates than the control group, with stronger tensile strength of scar tissue and antibacterial effects in infected wounds in the treated group.

Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD) and Bruxism - Marino, A, M.D.: Pain relief utilizing impedance controlled microcurrent therapy.  Biological Mechanisms of Tooth Eruption, Resorption and Movement, Edited by Davidovitch Z, Mah J and Suthanarak S, pages 379-384 © 2006. Harvard Society for the Advancement of Orthodontics, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.   The research was to evaluate the effectiveness of impedance controlled computerized microcurrent therapy for managing neuromuscular pain in Temporomandibular joint disorders and bruxing patients.  The Electro-Acuscope was used with ear lobe clip electrodes.  The Electro-Myopulse was used with a metal probe to massage painful tissue sites.  The therapy was able to reduce pain levels in 95% of the patients.  Greater range of head and neck motion, absence or a reduced frequency of headaches, and improved bite function were also noted.  No adverse effects were observed.
