Found an interesting and unique product called ‘Pain Gone Pen’. Saw it when one of the team physiotherapist was using it on a cricket player during the recent Australia-South Africa cricket test series.The pen costs around GBP 34.99. Don’t know if this is available in Kuwait.

What is the PainGone Pen?

PAIN®GONE is a handy, fast working pain relief device shaped like a large ballpoint pen and is as easy to use. Unlike TENS, it has no attachments or batteries and can be used anywhere, anytime. It uses a low-frequency electrical charge produced by crystals to provide prolonged pain relief which is clinically proven to work. It is a new way to treat pain problems without having to resort to treatment with pain killers or injections.

Pain Gone Pen may be used through thin clothing

When the red button is pressed, the built-in generator produces a high voltage pulse for a brief period – this activates Pain®Gone. It delivers an electrical signal of approximately 15,000 volts and 0.006 milliamps.
