High-Tech Device Combats Fibromyalgia

Massage therapists have long known that handd-on therapies relieve at least some of the pain of fibromyalgia; now they have another type of health care to add to their referral network.

Fibromyalgia patients worldwide are seeing rapid improvement in their symptoms from a high-tech medical device indicated for depression, anxiety insomnia, and pain.

The device employs two distinct technologies, Microcurrent Electrotherapy Technology (MET) and Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES), to treat psychological and physical symptoms. Information about the device was reported in press release by Moeller Medical, a company that manufactures the device.

It has been used by professional sports teams, such as the Dallas Cowboys and Indiana Pacers, and pain specialists to treat pain disorders successfully. Recently, rheumatologists have begun prescribing it for their fibromyalgia patients, who are reporting significant results.

Fibromyalgia is seen in about three to six percent of the population, and there are few effective treatments available. Moeller Medical has set up two informational Web sites for patients and health-care professionals to learn about the device:
