Reducing complications, including pain

Various studies 1,3,5 have shown that electrical stimulation with the NESS H200 reduces complications.

The graph below taken from one of these studies illustrates the significant reduction in pain.

The x-axis shows the point in time that the measurement was taken, while the y-axis shows the pain score based on a standardized questionnaire. Various studies have shown that pain is reduced by over 46% on average.
