Neuropathy – Pain, Burning and Tingling Sensations
Symptomatic Pain Relief
The Anodyne® Therapy System is a noninvasive, device that delivers Monochromatic Infrared Energy/(MIRE™) through infrared light-emitting diodes, with a wavelength of 890 nm, that are mounted in flexible Therapy Pads. Anodyne® Therapy Systems received clearance from the US FDA in 1994 for the indications of temporarily increasing local circulation, thereby relieving pain from various etiologies.
Patients looking for a non-invasive treatment alternative to drugs for pain and poor circulation can also receive the benefit of infrared and heat therapy treatment.
Any condition, whether acute or chronic, that would benefit from these indications may benefit from the effects of this infrared therapy device.
The mechanism of action underlying pain relief associated with Anodyne® Therapy/MIRE™ may be due, In part, to a combination of topical heat and an increased local release of nitric oxide that has been reported using this wavelength (890nm) of near infrared light energy. The source of released nitric oxide may be endothelial cells or red blood cells, or both.
Clinical Applications:
- Treatment of acute pain/ injuries, muscle spasm, stiffness & pain and / or poor circulation caused by chemotherapy, diabetes, vascular diseases, etc.
- Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
- Neuropathy Post Chemotherapy
- Age-Related Neuropathy
- Vitamin B12 deficiency
- Wound Healing
- Arthritis pain
