Title: Electroanalgesia in Cancer Pain Management: A Multidisciplinary Approach
In the realm of innovative and unique technologies, Quantum Re-Generation stands out as a groundbreaking solution in the field of pain management. This technology is distinguished by its ability to treat pain and act on a muscular level with a decontracting action. This is achieved through the emission of high-tension depolarizing microcurrents.
The therapeutic action of Quantum Re-Generation extends to acute chronic and post-traumatic pain. It also exhibits therapeutic anti-inflammatory and decontracting properties. Its action is explained through the Gate Control Theory, allowing for the inhibition of nociceptive afferent transmission that occurs through small-diameter fibers. This is achieved through the use of pulsed microcurrents with a time duration of a millionth of a second per impulse, acting on muscle tissue and exhibiting a decontracting effect while increasing tissue oxygenation.
Quantum Re-Generation employs a procedure of electro-analgesia and neuro-modulation. In general, the ultimate goal of any analgesia technique is always to inhibit the transmission of the pain impulse using an electric stimulus. The Quantum Re-Generation device features interchangeable tips for treating small, localized areas such as the temporomandibular joint or larger areas such as the treatment of peripheral nerve canal syndromes like the Sciatic Nerve.
Quantum Re-Generation operates through the use of depolarizing high-tension microcurrents, acting on C-fiber receptors (specialized neurons that transmit pain sensations slowly and deeply) to provide a ‘counter-information’. The analgesic effect is immediate. Furthermore, just as chronic pain remodels neural circuits and creates ‘vicious circles’ that amplify suffering, repeated application of this therapy with a complete cycle of multiple sessions can itself remodel these altered sensory circuits, allowing for a reduction in hyper-sensitivity to pain.
To date, Quantum Re-Generation has been widely tested on patients with various painful musculoskeletal symptoms, neuropathic pain, and even oncological pain in different pathologies. After just one application, Quantum Re-Generation has proven extremely useful for patients with sub-acromial conflict syndrome and supra-spinous tendon pain, as well as rotator cuff tendinitis.
It has shown effective in inhibiting the pain caused by plantar fasciitis generated by calcaneal spurs. It has been tested with positive results on patients with degenerative joint arthrosis with pain and functional limitation, treating all back pain, cervical, dorsal, lumbar, and sacro-coccygeal. It has shown very positive results in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis of the hand, showing a clear reduction in pain with an increase in hand function.
Patients with chronic pain lasting more than six months and acute pain from recent trauma, such as distortive ankle trauma, have also shown positive results. Positive results have been obtained in the treatment of issues related to ligamentous and muscular problems such as iliotibial band syndrome with pain and limitation of mobility.
The technology has been tested on patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction, pain at the level of the masticatory muscles due to Bruxism and pain at the joint. In this type of patient, a clear reduction in pain and a reduction in muscle hypertonia that generated Bruxism, both concentric and eccentric, have been observed.
The device has also been used in a case of neurological rigidity due to Motor Neuron Disease, Sclerosis Laterale Amiotrofica. The patient showed a clear reduction in muscle hypertonia with a significant improvement in walking. Quantum Re-Generation has been used as an analgesic therapy in the management of non-opioid-responsive oncological pain, showing significant reductions in perceived pain levels. The treatment has been focused on painful bone metastases after Radiotherapy. The device has also been used in the veterinary field. Specifically, dogs with degenerative joint arthrosis in their limbs have been treated. Already from the first treatment, the dog has improved its global mobility, indicating a clear reduction in pain. The joint range of motion and walking on all four limbs with complete weight distribution have also improved.
The device has been well tolerated and accepted by all patients, with no side effects of any kind observed. All treated patients have shown a significant reduction in pain.
