Clinical Study Shows BioniCare® Reduces Pain of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Hand Arthritis
IRVINE, Calif. (PRWEB) August 15, 2018 -- VQ OrthoCare®, a leading provider of non-invasive, non-drug medical solutions focused on bone, joint and soft-tissue conditions, today announces the publication of a study showing BioniCare reduces pain and improves function for carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis of the hand. The four month study, published this month in Orthopedics, shows that BioniCare relieves the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Hand Osteoarthritis in as little as 4 weeks. BioniCare is a pulsed electrical signal applied to the hand by electrodes and a conductive glove.
In Carpal Tunnel patients, BioniCare reduced pain by 32%, paresthesia by 30% and improved the Physician’s Global Score by 43%. BioniCare had an effect size greater than non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) across all measures. In all subjects, BioniCare reduced arthritis pain in the hand and thumb by 35%. Function was improved in all patients by 19% but improved by 23% in Carpal Tunnel patients.
The BioniCare Hand System is available by prescription only. The study can be found online at https://www.healio.com/orthopedics/journals/ortho. For more information, please visit http://www.bionicare.com or call VQ OrthoCare at 800-266-6969.
