Is This New Technology? Next Slide

A NEW TECHNOLOGY? F Although electromedicine may seem like a new technology to many practitioners, it is actually one of the oldest and most documented medical sciences known. Cellular function has long been known and accepted to be influenced by specific bioelectric fields. Next Slide

A NEW TECHNOLOGY? F The science of clinical electromedicine and electroanalgesic treatment is based upon the concept that any medical therapy, regardless of the specialty or avenue of approach, can only stimulate, facilitate, or inhibit electrical or chemical processes in the body. Next Slide

Is this a T.E.N.S unit? (T ranscutaneous E lectric N erve S timulation) Next Slide

Electroanalgesic Neuroblock is not T.E.N.S. unit! Electroanalgesic Neuroblocks should not be confused with a T.E.N.S. unit. Many physicians and insurance companies think of a T.E.N.S. unit as an external small device that patients take home to reduce pain by applying low voltage electricity with adhesive electrodes placed over the skin. Next Slide

Electroanalgesic Neuroblock is not T.E.N.S. unit! An Electroanalgesic Neuroblock on the other hand is a clinical medical device used by a medical physician that uses an advanced computer assisted High Definition frequency generator (HDfg) ™ with high intensity frequency impulses to trigger nerve fibers to block pain signals to the brain. Next Slide

T.E.N.S. units use signals to produce repeated action potentials normally ranging upwards from 1 to 250 pulses per second. These signals imitate the normal firing frequencies of the nerves. The most typical range is usually from 1 to approximately 10 pps. T.E.N.S. units are considered to be a topical or peripheral nerve stimulator. Next Slide

Unlike a T.E.N.S. unit, an Electroanalgesic Neuroblock replaces areas of intense pain with a more pleasant sensation. Most patients say that it feels like a "light tingling" or "massaging sensation." Next Slide

More importantly, it masks the pain that is normally present. This sensation, called paresthesia, remains relatively constant during the treatment and should not hurt. Next Slide

T.E.N.S. effects in bioelectric procedures and treatments are biophysiological effects that are induced by repeated synchronous action potentials in excitable cells (1 to 250 pps -- pulses per second). This involves membrane depolarization and repolarization activity. (“Gate control theory of Pain”, Science 150., 1965; Melzack and Wall) Next Slide

An Electroanalgesic Neuroblock uses signals that are so fast that they cannot be physiologically followed by the nervous system (multiple stimulations falling within the absolute refractory period of the cell membrane). This depolarization effect is accomplished by using an advanced computer assisted High Definition frequency generator (HDfg) ™ to reduce the hyper- irritated state of the nerves. Next Slide

These signals must be faster and are used for stopping or interrupting the axon transport of the action impulse. Blocking the pain signal is necessary in cases of heavy (severe) pain. (Wendensky Inhibition) Home PageNext Slide

What is an Electroanalgesic Neuroblock? Next Slide

Electroanalgesia (elec·tro·an·al·ge·sia) Electroanalgesia (elec·tro·an·al·ge·sia) is defined by Stedman's Medical Dictionary, 2nd Edition as: “Analgesia that is induced by the passage of an electric current.” Next Slide

Electroanalgesia (elec·tro·an·al·ge·sia) Electroanalgesia is also defined by Dorland's Medical Dictionary “The reduction of pain by electrical stimulation of a peripheral nerve or the dorsal column of the spinal cord.” Next Slide

“Nerve Block” Nerve Block is defined by Gould Medical Dictionary as: “The interruption of the passages of impulses through a nerve, as by chemical, mechanical or electrical means.” Next Slide

“Nerve Block” Nerve Block is also defined by Tabers’s Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary as: “The introduction of regional anesthesia by preventing sensory nerve impulses from reaching centers of consciousness. This is usually done on a temporary basis, by using chemical or electrical means. In the former case, it is accomplished by injecting an anesthetic solution, such as procaine, around the nerve but some distance from the region, or by anesthetizing a nerve ending in the region itself (infiltration).” Next SlideHome Page

The History… Next Slide

THE HISTORY OF ELECTROMEDICINE A wide variety of medical conditions have been successfully treated with electrical stimulation for nearly 2,000 years. Electro medicine gained wider acceptance in our day when Canadian psychologist Ronald Melzack and British physiologist Patrick Wall published their influential findings on the “Gate Control Theory of Pain”. (Science 150, 1965) Next Slide

THE HISTORY OF ELECTROMEDICINE These scientists found that certain cells in the spinal cord act as gates through which pain signals travel to the brain. Overloading these neural transmitter cells will block the naturally occurring electrochemical pain impulses and thus relieve pain. Next Slide

THE HISTORY OF ELECTROMEDICINE The Gate Control Theory was accepted by the medical community and helped establish the use of transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (T.E.N.S.) in the United States. Next Slide

THE HISTORY OF ELECTROMEDICINE Since that time, NeuroMed Consulting, Inc. has refined and perfected electromedical processes to the point where comprehensive electroanalgesic medicine has emerged as an important adjunct discipline in the management and control of pain. Next Slide

THE HISTORY OF ELECTROMEDICINE NeuroMed provides the clinical profession with the optimum level of confidence in electromedicine and electroanalgesic medicine by supplying practitioners with high quality equipment, accessories, and related training and client services. Home PageNext Slide

THEORY OF ELECTRO MEDICINE Next Slide

CLASSIFICATIONS At present, there are two distinct electro medicine classifications: F (1) Action Potential (depolarization and repolarization) Next Slide

CLASSIFICATIONS Next Slide

CLASSIFICATIONS At present, there are two distinct electro medicine classifications: F (1) Action Potential (depolarization and repolarization) F (2) No Action Potential (sustained depolarization): Next Slide

CLASSIFICATIONS  Action Potential F These effects in bioelectric procedures and treatment are biophysiological effects that are induced by repeated synchronous action potentials in excitable cells (1 to 250 pps -- pulses per second). This involves membrane depolarization and repolarization activity. Next Slide

F Szasz Slide 31 Next Slide

CLASSIFICATIONS  No Action Potential F These effects in bioelectric procedures and treatment are biophysiological effects that are induced without action potentials (i.e., faster than 2,000 pps). This involves sustained depolarization – that is, no repetitive membrane depolarization and repolarization activity. Next Slide

F Szasz Slide 37 Next Slide

AFFECTING THE NERVE WITH ELECTROMEDICINE F 1.NEURON FUNCTION IMITATION* These are signals producing repeated action potentials normally ranging up wards from 1 to 20 or 30 pulses per second. These signals imitate the normal firing frequencies of the nerves. The most typical range is usually from 1 to approximately 10 pps, used primarily for adjunctive treatment of post- traumatic pain syndromes, prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy, adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical pain problems, and immediate post-surgical stimulation of the calf muscles to prevent phlebothrombosis. *These mechanisms of action are only theory and have not yet been proved with valid scientific data. Next Slide

F Szasz Slide 56 Next Slide

AFFECTING THE NERVE WITH ELECTROMEDICINE F 2.NEURON FUNCTION EXHAUSTION* These are signals that produce repeated action impulses at a higher rate. This range of frequencies is normally from approximately 30 pps to 250 pps. Neuron exhaustion occurs in a relatively short time via the depletion of the synaptic neurotransmitter necessary for continued action potential propagation. This type of stimulation produces vasodilatation, muscle fatigue, and relaxation for spasm relief. *These mechanisms of action are only theory and have not yet been proved with valid scientific data. Next Slide

F Szasz Slide 56 Next Slide

AFFECTING THE NERVE WITH ELECTROMEDICINE F 3.NEURON FUNCTION INTERRUPTION* These are signals that are so fast that they cannot be physiologically followed by the nervous system (multiple stimulations falling within the absolute refractory period of the cell membrane). These signals must be faster than 2,000 pps and are used for stopping or interrupting the axon transport of the action impulse. Blocking the pain signal is necessary in cases of heavy (severe) pain. *These mechanisms of action are only theory and have not yet been proved with valid scientific data. Next Slide

Next Slide

SECONDARY PAIN RELIEVING EFFECT F 2. INCREASE OF LOCAL BLOOD FLOW* Effect of motor nerve and muscle stimulation with an increase in metabolism, followed by auto regulatory vascular mechanisms resulting in a decrease of local peripheral resistance of the vasculature in the stimulated muscle. *These mechanisms of action are only theory and have not yet been proved with valid scientific data. Next Slide

SECONDARY PAIN RELIEVING EFFECT F 2. INCREASE OF LOCAL BLOOD FLOW* CO2, lactate, and adenosine are end-products of metabolism. The auto regulatory vascular mechanisms are controlled by CO2, lactate (pH decrease), and adenosine release. *These mechanisms of action are only theory and have not yet been proved with valid scientific data. Next Slide

SECONDARY PAIN RELIEVING EFFECT F 2. INCREASE OF LOCAL BLOOD FLOW* ATP consumption is initiated by depolarization of both excitable and non excitable cells, because the cells try to repolarize their membrane potential. For this purpose they need ATP as the source of energy. Electromedical currents depolarize excitable and non-excitable cells. *These mechanisms of action are only theory and have not yet been proved with valid scientific data. Next Slide

SECONDARY PAIN RELIEVING EFFECT F 3. LOCAL CIRCULATION* Increase in the distribution of electrically charged substances (ions) and water Electro-osmosis within the tissue, resulting in: *These mechanisms of action are only theory and have not yet been proved with valid scientific data. Next Slide

What physicians are saying about this technology… Next Slide

Physician Letters...“ This machine helps those with chronic myofacial pain, pain arising from peripheral and central nervous system disorders incapacitating the patients. The electroceutical block provided by this medical device is quite effective in alleviating the pain. Some patients got complete relief of chronic pain. I highly recommend this in all pain clinics and rehabilitation centers to treat painful conditions arising from the soft tissue as well as from underlying nervous tissue.”… T. R. Shantha, MD, Ph D Director - Southeastern Pain Inst. Clinical Professor - Georgia Next Slide

Physician Letters …” We are witnessing daily in our physical medicine & rehabilitation pain management and preventive medicine center phenomenal results….As a board certified family physician with over thirty years of clinical experience, I have had extensive exposure to patients with musculo skeletal injuries and a variety of chronic painful and disabling diseases and disorders…..The MATRIX offers a unique resource to facilitate a more prompt recovery for the vast majority of these patients”… D. Robert Howard, M.D. Next Slide

Physician Letters F …I feel that with this device I have a chance to treat, what I have previously considered virtually untreatable pain. Granted, I have only been a doctor for a few short years, but in that time, I have learned acupuncture and become involved with prolo therapy. Even though these modalities help improve my patients’ outcomes, after using this advanced technology for approximately 4 months now, I am incredibly enthusiastic about the results that I have been able to achieve. F In addition to the fact that we have been getting great results, I have to mention the fact that the company that has produced this technology has been by far one of the best, if not the best, company I have had to deal with in terms of their training and their support. They have been there to help us with any technical problems (although we have hardly had any), post training, which has been incredible, and most importantly supporting us in our endeavor to work with insurance companies so that we can provide this remarkable technology to patients on virtually all plans. While poorly understood by insurance companies, it is in many ways beneficial as it is often times much less expensive for insurance companies then more invasive and seemingly less affective methods presently available… R. Rand, M.D. Next Slide

Physician Letters “Since acquiring the MATRIX over one year ago, I have noticed a significant reduction in the indications for painful and expensive Pain Management blocks (e.g. – Trigger Point Injections and Peripheral Nerve Blocks). It also provides a much more cost effective treatment and I have found it to be an invaluable tool in my day to day care of the pain patient”… Bentley Ogoke M.D. American Board of Anesthesiology American Board of Internal Medicine Board Certified in Pain Management Next Slide

Physician Letters …”Like most doctors, I look at the introduction of any new modality with a certain degree of skepticism. Such considerations as the affect of time, the placebo affect, or for that matter, any other agent which may produce an affect, must be considered… I want to impart this experience since I derive such a great degree of satisfaction from the treatment of really horrendous problems with your device”… Anthony T.
